The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 703

Chapter 703: Chapter 699: Luring the Enemy Chapter 703: Chapter 699: Luring the Enemy Lin Da drew a virtual press with both hands in front of him, letting out a soft breath.

He managed to withstand the second thunder tribulation safely.

Looking down, he saw that the Dharma Protectors brought by the monks of the Western Regions had been slaughtered, and his own subordinates had suffered heavy casualties. Now, including Baoshan and the Dragon Altar, there were only seven left.

Among them, three were chasing after the remaining Dharma Protectors. Baoshan and another were teaming up against Bai Xiaotian. Ghost General Zhao Feiji had also held one back. Leaving only the Dragon Altar to fight Shen Luo alone.

The Dragon Altar was the first disciple Lin Da took in after he was betrayed by the current Sacred Master of Body Refining Altar and fled to the Western Regions. He had put the most effort and energy into cultivating him. Thus, he exceeded the rest in strength.

Shen Luo, relying on the protection of the Eight Hanging Mirror, continuously attacked with the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and the Dragon Horn Cone. Even though the Dragon Altar looked as if it was in continuous retreat, it seemed to be suppressed by him.

However, Shen Luo was very clear in his heart. The opponent was merely familiarizing himself with his attack methods and had not unleashed his full strength yet.

After about a dozen rounds of fighting, the Dragon Altar suddenly smiled and said to Shen Luo,

“Your Excellency, I already have seen enough of your techniques. If there are no more trump cards to play, I might have to retaliate.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo felt somewhat frustrated in his heart.

Although he had completely refined the Dragon Horn Cone now, his current realm and cultivation level ultimately made it impossible for him to stimulate all its might. As such, he couldn't guarantee a one-hit-kill against the Dragon Altar.

More importantly, he was still worried about Chan'er's safety, so he had to divide his attention to observe the changes in the Dharma Platform. This made it even more impossible for him to go all out.

Just as he slightly diverted his gaze, the Dragon Altar seized the opportunity. His body suddenly stirred up ripples, like a ghost, blurred slightly before it instantly disappeared in place, and then appeared behind Shen Luo from out of nowhere.

With a palm strike, a “Burst” character on a purple talisman in his palm suddenly lit up.

Then, a deafening explosion rang out.

A blistering explosion erupted behind Shen Luo's neck. The light curtain cast by the Eight Hanging Mirror broke apart, and under the impact of this immense force, he was propelled forward, collapsing heavily on the ground.

The back of his neck was blurred with blood and flesh, and under the pink membrane, one could faintly see the white cervical vertebrae. The sight was truly gruesome.

The Dragon Altar saw Shen Luo struggling to lift his head while his cervical vertebrae were teetering on breaking. A hint of a victorious delight flashed in his eyes. He darted over, stepping heavily on Shen Luo's back.

“Benefactor, seeing your present state, you should stop struggling. Keeping your soul intact is better for the poor monk. After all, torturing a single soul isn't as interesting for my Master. Only when your divine soul is full, can you enjoy the fun of the Sky Lighting Lamp and watch your divine soul burn little by little. Then you would know what real exhaustion feels like…” He talked while pressing Shen Luo's head down with the Soul Attracting Staff in his hand.

Barely finished, he felt the sight before him flash a few times and his vision got blurry.

“Sometimes, it's quite awkward to laugh too early.” Just then, Shen Luo's voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

The Dragon Altar was startled and instinctively tried to escape. But as soon as the Mana in his body started to flow, it abruptly stopped. His entire body froze on the spot, unable to move at all.

Then, as if a fog was lifted, he saw the truth under him.

Shen Luo was still under his foot, only not prone, but supine. He looked at him with a smile, and there under his chest was a huge sea star, milky white all over, with a light purple center.

The sea star too, stared at him with its large, watery eyes, filled with a look of grievance and fear.

Unbeknownst to all, Shen Luo had summoned White Star in advance. Using its illusion technique, he obscured the Heavenly mechanisms which led the Dragon Altar to mistakenly believe he was severely injured. In reality, the power of the Burst Talisman that shattered the light curtain of the Eight Hanging Mirror had indeed been formidable, but its strength was entirely depleted and it hadn't injured Shen Luo in the slightest.

In his arrogance, Shen Luo took advantage of the moment to immobilize the Dragon Altar with a Binding Talisman.

“Benefactor, your abilities and cunning are remarkable,” the trapped Dragon Altar began, his smile fading slightly. “How about joining our Saint…”

However, his words were cut off halfway as a Dragon Chant abruptly rang out. The once humbled Shen Luo, now beneath his feet, had shoved him away with a push of his palm. The Dragon Horn Cone transformed into a Golden Dragon and instantaneously pierced his chest.

“Puff…”

A cluster of blood burst instantly. The Dragon Horn Cone tore through the Dragon Altar's heart without much resistance.

His eyes widened in disbelief, his body stiffened, and fell backwards.

Shen Luo rose to his feet, dusting off the sand on his body, and sneered, “Even villains now know that talking too much leads to death, why would I speak to you more?”

Having said that, he reached out and patted White Star, perched on his chest, implying she didn't need to be afraid. He comforted her by saying,

“Don't be afraid. You've been a great help this time. I'll send you back first and thank you properly later.”

White Star only “hmm”ed softly. Her powers were greatly reduced on land, and every time she was summoned by Shen Luo, she was thinking about how to return as quickly as possible.

Shen Luo immediately applied the Art of Spirit Communication, sending her back.

Afterwards, he dashed towards Chan'er, who was standing under the Dharma Platform, and called up, “Chan'er, Master, wait a moment, I'll get you out.”

As he finished speaking, he lifted his hand and the flames on the Pure Yang Sword Embryo rose up, stabbing at the Dharma Platform above.

Just as the Sword Light was about to penetrate the platform, a crystalline blood red light fell from the sky, blocking the path in front of the platform. When the Pure Yang Sword Embryo struck the crystal light, there was a loud “bang”. It was rebounded back.

Shen Luo looked up and saw Lin Da, who had just blocked the fourth Heavenly Tribulation's strike, exuding fury.

“Waste! You can't even handle a Nascent Soul Stage monk.”

After spitting out his discontent, Lin Da lifted his hand and slapped his belly. A terrifying face broke free from the restraint of his skin and burst out of his body.

The ghostly face turned into a red-black ghostly Qi as soon as it split from the body. It lunged straight at the body of the Dragon Altar.

Seeing this, Shen Luo immediately flicked his wrist, slashing at it with all his might.

The Pure Yang Sword Embryo shot out with his will, catching up with the black ghostly Qi and slashing down.

The crimson Sword Light flashed brightly, and the black ghostly Qi split into two at its sound.

However, even after being split, its forward momentum did not decrease. One after another, it plunged into the body of the Dragon Altar.
