The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 605

Chapter 605: Chapter 601: The Old Master's Former Steed Chapter 605: Chapter 601: The Old Master's Former Steed Shen Luo, who was focused on none but using his powers, immediately began to run the Huangting Divine Power to its full extent. His body instantly erupted into a blinding golden light, with the phantoms of six dragons and six elephants starting to emerge around him. A powerful aura was then unleashed.

But before the Dragon Elephant Phantom could fully form, the golden rope wound around Shen Luo suddenly radiated with golden light, giving rise to layered bird seal rune patterns. An overwhelming amount of prohibition power emanated from it.

Following this, Shen Luo felt his Mana, which he just released around himself, being instantly absorbed by the golden rope, steadily flowing away like a broken dam. The Dragon Elephant Phantom, recently formed outside his body, began to dissipate rapidly with the loss of Mana.

“How did this happen?” Shen Luo was taken aback.

He hastily tried to rotate his techniques again, an attempt to break free from his bindings with one push. But the moment his Mana was mobilized, it was instantly absorbed by the prohibition rune on the golden rope.

“Don't waste your energy. Unless you're a Taiyi True Immortal, don't fantasize about breaking free from this Golden Rope with brute strength. If you don't believe me, give it a try. I'd like to see how much Mana you have,” said the Blue Bull Spirit, releasing a bit of tension from his Six Chen Whip, with a provocative smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo, with a subtle change of his mind, retracted the golden light around him. He stopped resisting with the Zhuangting Divine Power and instead summoned a layer of shimmering blue light, exhibiting the Water Repelling Technique.

After the blue aura covering him brightened, it began to expand outward, attempting to pry open some space from the inside, to allow Shen Luo a chance to escape.

However, the moment the blue light started to expand, the divine power of the Golden Rope activated once more, absorbing this portion of Mana again.

Shen Luo sighed when he saw this, realizing that escaping these magical treasures using mystic arts was going to be difficult.

“It doesn't seem like you're the kind of stubborn fool who doesn't know the ways of the world. Since that's the case, don't cause unnecessary trouble. Explain your origins, motives, and how the Six Chen Whip ended up in your possession,” the Blue Bull Spirit, seeing Shen Luo completely retract his Mana, apparently preparing to give up, mockingly said.

“You recognize this Six Chen Whip?” Instead of answering, Shen Luo asked.

“I saw Li Jing using it a few times when I was in Heaven. But didn't he meet his utter demise? How did the Six Chen Whip end up with you?” The Blue Bull Spirit asked, puzzled.

“You're an old member of the Heavenly Court?” Shen Luo exclaimed in surprise.

“An old member of the Heavenly Court? Hehe… I suppose so. Anyways, during the assault on Heavenly Court, many fools thought I should be standing on the side of the Heavenly Court,” the Blue Bull Spirit scoffed.

“So, you're a traitor to the Heavenly Court,” said Shen Luo, appearing to understand.

“Given your current predicament, infuriating me will only make your death more miserable,” the Blue Bull Spirit sneered.

In response, Shen Luo let out an amused smile, and then shouted, “Rise!”

The moment his words fell, a flicker of golden light appeared at the base of his spine, pushing him straight up into the heavens.

The Blue Bull Spirit looked up in surprise as a robust pillar of gold suddenly shot up from the ground in front of him, rapidly expanding in both width and height at a visible rate, becoming both thicker and longer.

“This is… the Ruyi Golden Cudgel?” The old horse monkey looked up into the sky, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Shen Luo, propelled higher with the rapid expansion of the Refined Iron Stick, soon reached the clouds. The Refined Iron Stick attached to his back had grown as thick as a mountain peak.

However, to his despair, the golden rope coiled around him and the SeAnchoring Iron Rod had also expanded a hundred times, still wrapped tightly around him. There was nothing to suggest that the rope was under strain or about to snap. Instead, the bird seal patterns on it only seemed to tighten.

Seeing this, Shen Luo uttered another word, “Retract.”

The moment his word fell, the SeAnchoring Iron Rod immediately began to retract quickly, shrinking from being toweringly high to thousands of feet, hundreds of feet, until it was as short as ten feet…

To Shen Luo's surprise, the Golden Rope that was wound around him stayed in step, shrinking rapidly with the steadily shrinking SeAnchoring Iron Rod, always bonding tightly to his body.

As the Iron Rod shrunk back to its original size, Shen Luo was unable to find any opportunity to free himself.

“I heard long ago that after Sun Wukong took the SeSuppressing Divine Needle from the Eastern Sea, a replacement was created. It seems that you hold it in your hand now? Unfortunately, it ultimately differs from the real thing; it's just a counterfeit item after all.” the Blue Bull Spirit spoke slowly.

“The Blue Bull of the Heavenly Court couldn't possibly have such extensive knowledge. Could it be that you are… Celestial Mount under Laojun?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo contemplated slightly and then said with a frown.

The Blue Bull Spirit was taken aback upon hearing this. Before he could figure out Shen Luo's identity, his own identity was guessed.

“As a wicked villain, you really shouldn't talk too much. Now, honestly answer my question, or else I will make you wish you were dead.” The Blue Bull Spirit said with a cold smile.

“I am a surviving disciple from Mount Fangcun, I came from the Eastern Sea and went to Flower Fruit Mountain just to commemorate the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong, nothing more.” Shen Luo responded without hesitation.

The Blue Bull Spirit was momentarily stunned. He thought Shen Luo would continue to resist, but instead, Shen Luo answered cleanly and straightforwardly, catching him off guard.

“Where did you get your Six Chen Whip? How are you related to Li Jing?” He asked after a brief moment of hesitation.

“Who is Li Jing? I don't know him. This Six Chen Whip was collected by me during my travels from a battlefield relic.” Shen Luo answered without thinking.

“And what's the deal with the imitation SeSuppressing Divine Needle Stick?” The Blue Bull Spirit asked.

“Didn't the East Sea Dragon Palace get breached by demons before? I took advantage of the confusion and stole it.” Shen Luo replied.

He was confident that the Blue Bull Spirit wasn't aware of the SeAnchoring Iron Rod, so he made up a wild story.

Hearing this, the Blue Bull Spirit was silent for a moment before he started to mockingly laugh, “In just a few sentences, there probably isn't a single truthful one, it seems you won't cry until you see your coffin.”

Having said this, he turned his wrist and a palm-sized incense burner appeared in his hand. Inside it was a bright scarlet flame, yet no trace of smoke could be seen coming from it.

He held the incense burner in his hand and blew a breath towards Shen Luo.

The red flame in the incense burner suddenly brightened, and an incredibly hot breath immediately spewed out. A glimmering red spark flew out from the gap of the incense burner, aiming straight at Shen Luo's forehead.

Shen Luo could not dodge it, the spark hit his forehead, and he immediately felt an unbearable severe burning pain piercing deep into his mind, as if it had penetrated through his skull and into his divine soul. Making him let out a miserable cry.

A small trail of white smoke started rising from his forehead, his flesh had been burnt through in an instant.

Fortunately, the power of this fire spark only lasted for an instant, exhausting its spiritual power very quickly and then extinguished and disappeared on its own.

“Doesn't feel good does it, the power of Samadhi True Fire?” The Blue Bull Spirit derisively said.

His forehead was still throbbing with pain, he could only tightly frown and shake his head, trying to alleviate the acute pain.

Seeing that Shen Luo didn't speak, the Blue Bull Spirit's expression turned colder, he raised the incense burner ready to blow on it again.

But right at that moment, a loud thud echoed from inside the mountain, followed by an enormous airwave gushing out from the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave. This huge wave scattered the water, splashing it around like falling rain.
