The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Chapter 704: The Puppet Master Behind the Scenes Chapter 708: Chapter 704: The Puppet Master Behind the Scenes Shen Luo hastily took flight, rescuing Chan'er, while the surrounding Zen masters who had escaped from the trap also helped each other to flee.

Everyone didn't dare to stop until they had escaped a thousand feet away, where they looked back at the situation.

Amidst the sky full of lightning, Lin Da's body rapidly expanded, with a thick, black fog swirling around him. Ghostly faces detached from his body, resembling souls, shrouded in black ghost fog, and swirled unpredictably around him.

“No…” Lin Da screamed in despair.

But the surrounding golden thunders didn't stop at all, splitting the ghost faces into pieces, turning them into black smoke and completely dispersing them.

On top of the sky, at the center of the thunder pool, a golden thunder pillar akin to the Pillar of Heaven pierced down, striking directly above Lin Da's head.

The dazzling golden light washed down like a torrential rain; his body was torn apart by the golden light in an instant, turning into ashes and vanished completely. Only a black crystal-like dragon eye pill was unaffected by the lightning, it flew out.

The golden thunder pillar violently crashed onto the earth, the violent impact caused the vast desert to surge up with hundred feet sand waves. The unrelenting power seemed to pour directly into the earth veins, triggering a series of explosion sounds.

“Boom boom boom…rumble…”

Under the vast desert, the explosions grew stronger by the moment. Like a string of pearls, they extended towards the depths of the desert, constantly blasting out sand waves on the ground. A hundred-feet-long ground fissure canyon emerged as a result.

After an unknown amount of time, all the explosive sounds subsided. The dark clouds in the sky also disappeared with the end of the Thunder Tribulation.

The remaining three people on the Sacred Lotus Dharma Altar were dumbfounded. Coming back to their senses, they did not dare to stay and fled in all directions.

Zhao Feiji and Bai Xiaotian didn't bother to pursue them any further. Instead, they flew back towards Shen Luo.

Halfway through, Zhao Feiji suddenly sensed something and spotted the black crystal pill half-buried in the desert. With a wave of his hand, he collected it.

“How are you all doing, are you okay?” Bai Xiaotian asked.

Shen Luo slowly set down Chan'er in his arms, shook his head, was about to speak but his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head towards the split canyon.

At its end, a pitch black cave entrance about the size of a room abruptly appeared. It was surrounded by a sealing array formed by nine stone pillars. However, most of them were already broken.

“Rumble.” A muffled sound came from the depths of the black cave entrance.

A thick black cloud suddenly spouted out from the ruptured seal like a fountain.

This cloud of black Qi was very viscous and dense. It seemed heavier than water and smelt foul, emitting a gloomy Qi as it moved.

Seeing such dramatic change, Shen Luo and the others were shocked and quickly dodged away. However, a middle-aged monk who was closer to the entrance and suffered serious injuries had a slower reaction. He failed to avoid it and the black Qi touched his legs. The skin of his legs immediately turned black and spread quickly upwards.

The middle-aged monk let out a horrified scream, and his body emitted a bright golden light in an attempt to resist the invasion of the black Qi. But the black Qi didn't stop, instead, the golden light was immediately swallowed up as soon as it touched the black Qi.

The monk turned black all over in a flash. His screams became sharp, and his body swelled rapidly. Scales the size of copper coins grew on the surface of his body, shining black. Even more alarming, bloody demon-like bones grew on his hands and feet.

In the blink of an eye, the Buddhist monk transformed into a colossal demonic being, over two to three stories tall. His eyes also turned blood red, without a trace of humanity left, causing everyone to shudder at the sight.

All those present were terrified and stayed far away from the black Qi, as if it was a venomous snake or a scorpion, flying even further away.

As Shen Luo was about to move back as well, from the corner of his eye he saw a figure not only refusing to retreat but, instead, flying straight towards the seal.

He quickly made a move, waving his Profound Yellow Staff and launched an attack. A yellow shadow of the staff, like lightning, shot out towards that figure.

Wherever the staff shadow went, waves rippled in the void, causing a horrifying hiss.

The man uttered a surprised and doubtful grunt, flicked his sleeve, and a grey-white light shot out, transforming into a grey bone banner.

The banner was entirely made of bones, it was unclear whether they were human or animal bones. They were covered in a layer of blurry black fog, with many grey-white runes appearing and disappearing from view.

At the top of the bone banner, there were five human-shaped skulls. The tusks in their mouths were disorderly, and they emitted creepy chuckles that disturbed one's mind and made the blood go into turmoil.

The five skulls shrieked together. The black glow on the bone banner burgeoned and blocked the path of the Profound Yellow Staff. The two clashed with a huge bang.

With a booming sound, the white bone banner that appeared to be exceedingly formidable in defense, shattered on impact. Large fragments of broken bones flew around like rain.

There was a slight pause, and the Profound Yellow Staff continued to strike towards the black shadow.

But at this moment, a black shadow swept past up ahead. A tall, black figure darted over; it was the transformed middle-aged monk, with both hands emitting a black light. Two black demonic claws, the size of millstones, appeared and grabbed the Profound Yellow Staff.

With a muffled thump, the Profound Yellow Staff hit the middle-aged monk. His body exploded like the bone banner. However, the force of the Profound Yellow Staff was exhausted, and it ceased moving.

That figure continued to shoot forward and landed where the seal had broken. Standing amidst the billowing black mist, its figure becoming visible, it was Zhan Guo.

“Zhan Guo, what are you doing?” Shen Luo's face was one of astonishment.

Standing in the black mist, Zhan Guo was unfazed, and was not being eroded by the black mist at all.

“Did you set all of this up?” Shen Luo commanded, after seeing this scene.

Zhan Guo ignored Shen Luo and formed a gesture with a straight face. Immediately, the majority of the black mist around him turned into giant black tendrils that moved like lightning and reached dozens of feet into the deeper parts, reaching for everyone present.

The remaining bit of the mist rushed towards the seal, rapidly eroding the patterns on the seal. However, the spiritual light on the patterns was unusually strong. Although the black mist tried its best to infest it, there was no effect.

Because everyone nearby had already retreated quite a distance, even though the black tendrils this time were swifter, they didn't catch anyone. However, the bodies of those from the Dragon Altar, Baoshan, and others that were nearby were rolled up by the black tendrils and swallowed into the black mist.

Shen Luo was also targeted by two black tendrils, sweeping towards him menacingly.

But he didn't care about those black tendrils; his gaze was fixed on the eroding seal. With a pale face, he brandished his Five-Fire Fan, causing a fire phoenix to fly out from the fan.

The fire phoenix did not have the magnificent radiance that the five-colored phoenix emitted the previous time, but the spiritual pressure it emitted was much stronger–so much so that a horrifying high temperature surrounded the fire phoenix. It clashed with the two black tendrils.

As soon as the two black tendrils touched the fire-red phoenix, they immediately melted like ice encountering fire.

The fire-red phoenix then spread its wings piercing through the black mist and headed straight for Zhan Guo.

At the same time, Shen Luo threw out a handful of Thunderfall Talismans.

A moment after these talismans flashed a light, they all broke apart.

Bolts of lightning flashed in mid-air, and thick lightning bolts appeared out of thin air one after another. There were over a dozen of them, forming a thunder forest and all of them struck down towards Zhan Guo. They hit Zhan Guo's body at almost the same time as the red phoenix did.
