The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 725

Chapter 725: Chapter 721: Blood Pool Skulls Chapter 725: Chapter 721: Blood Pool Skulls Shen Luo directed the Heavenly Soldier towards the center of the cave, his heart shuddering.

He saw that the ground in the center of the cave had been dug out to create a dozen or so pools of varying sizes, filled with a blood-red liquid. Numerous bubbles rose to the surface, and a strong stench of blood wafted from them, making it evident that it was fresh blood.

Next to each blood pool, there stood ten or so dark red pillars, on which runes had been carved, forming what seemed to be Arrays.

The arrangement of these blood pools also followed a pattern, the scattered setup forming a strategic formation, the corresponding surrounding Arrays joined together, forming a large scale Array consisting of smaller ones.

A multitude of dark red runes blinked unevenly, the Arrays humming as they operated, causing the blood in the pools to churn and emit an endless wave of bloody vapor.

In addition to the smell of blood in the pools, there was also a strong whiff of demonic Qi, the two mingling together.

In each blood pool, several demonic creatures were soaking, their auras extremely massive, basically all at the Great Mahayana Stage or above, absorbing the vital essence and demonic Qi within the pools.

Seated within the largest blood pool were two large demonic creatures, one was a black tiger demon, having a human body but a tiger head, its body heavily muscled, with a golden pattern of the word “king” on its forehead.

The other was a large demon having a human body but an eagle head — precisely the same eagle demon from before.

These two demonic creatures emitted demonic Qi at the True Immortal Level, not inferior to Shen Luo himself.

However, what Shen Luo was most interested in was the purple-black stone placed in the middle of the dozens of blood pools; it radiated a luminous purple light and appeared to be an extremely precious treasure.

Above the purple-black stone hung a purple sphere, with a faintly discernible figure seated inside, its appearance and form unclear.

Streams of blood light following the formation pattern on the ground, converged from the blood pools within the Array, first entering into the purple-black stone, then emerging from the other side of the stone. The blood light became extremely pure, then injected into the purple sphere.

Blood-colored charm patterns surfaced on the surface of the purple sphere, shining brilliantly, appearing to absorb these blood lights.

The figure inside the purple sphere had an elusive aura, Shen Luo surprisingly unable to gauge its scale; he had only ever experienced such a situation with the likes of those entities who had surpassed the True Immortal Stage.

“Could there be a powerful entity at the Taiyi Realm inside?” Shocked, he immediately shifted his gaze away a moment after he had glanced at it, so as to avoid being detected.

At the same time, he had the Heavenly Soldier merge into the nearby soil to conceal its aura.

The blood pools within the cave worked in unison; the amount of blood quickly diminishing, over half of it consumed in the blink of an eye, and yet, the auras of the demon creatures in the blood pools had notably strengthened.

“What kind of method is this that can increase someone's strength so quickly?” Witnessing this scene, Shen Luo was secretly taken aback.

“Honorable One, the essence blood in the blood pools has been depleted again. Recently, following your instructions, all the Demon Soldiers have been stationed within Black Wolf Mountain, none of them have been out hunting for blood meals. The current stock of blood materials is running low, so it seems like the refinement of the Blood Essence Banner will have to be slowed down,” said the black tiger demon creature after rising up and giving a bow in front of the purple sphere.

“No, if there is a shortage of blood meals, then seize some from your subordinate soldiers. The refinement of the Blood Essence Banner is related to Lord Chiyou's complete release from distress and must not be slowed down!” From within the purple sphere, a cold voice replied indifferently.

“This voice…” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow, the voice stirred some kind of familiarity within him for some unknown reason.

On hearing these words, the face of the black tiger demon creature changed and he remained silent.

As for the eagle demon creature, after hearing this, a flash of anger crossed its eyes and was about to say something, but he was held back by the black tiger demon creature.

“What? Do you object?” The figure inside the purple sphere slowly turned around, looking at the black tiger demon creature, its tone icy.

“No, no, dare not! I will arrange it immediately.” The Black Tiger Demon Creature shook its body, seemingly terrified of the figure inside the sphere, and agreed hurriedly.

“What! Chiyou hasn't fully gotten out of the trap yet?” Above the ground, Shen Luo was stunned.

According to the information he had learned, Chiyou was supposed to have broken free on the day of the Demonic Tribulation. Why was he not free yet?

His feelings surged, the seal he placed on the Heavenly Soldier momentarily disrupted, and a hint of the Heavenly Soldier's breath leaked out.

“Who is it!” The figure inside the purple sphere suddenly raised its head, looking in the direction where the Heavenly Soldier was hiding.

Shen Luo was taken aback, and immediately controlled the Heavenly Soldier to escape towards a distant place.

But before it got far, a flash of black light appeared above the Heavenly Soldier's head, and an illusory image of a pitch-black bone claw appeared, ignoring the surrounding mud, and grasped downwards.

A silver light flashed in the Heavenly Soldier's hand, and a silver war spear appeared, shooting out like a vicious dragon emerging from its hole, stabbing onto the black bone claw.

When the two collided, there was a “crack” sound. The silver war spear was easily cut into several pieces by the black bone claw. The claw then grabbed the Heavenly Soldier. It cut it into several pieces as if tearing through paper. Shen Luo's wisp of divine sense inside the Heavenly Soldier was also torn apart by the claw.

On the ground, Shen Luo groaned softly, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he immediately activated the Wood Immortal Escape Technique.

In an instant, his entire body was enveloped by green light, his body shimmered and disappeared, entering the space created by the escape technique. With the help of the Wood Qi within it, he silently continued to move forward, moving away from the Demon Base.

Through this period of practice, he had already cultivated the Wood Immortal Escape Technique to a profound level. Not only was his escape speed much faster than before, but his breath was also much more concealed.

“Want to run! Having discovered the secrets here, leave your life behind!” but as soon as Shen Luo entered the green space, a cold voice was heard in his ear.

With that voice, a green light appeared from behind, chasing after him extremely quickly.

Within the green light was a black skeleton, draped in a golden robe. The style of the robe was simple and ancient, clearly very old, but still looked brand new, emitting a faint golden glow.

The bones of the black skeleton were shiny black, giving off a faint sense of transparency, like black crystal. Blood-colored charms were faintly visible on the surface of the bones, making it look very eerie.

The black skeleton was clearly proficient in the Wood Escape Technique too. The distance between the two quickly shortened. Clearly, the skeleton's knowledge in the Wood Escape Technique far surpassed his.

Shen Luo's face changed, he made a decision on the spot and was about to leave the space of the escape technique and use the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique to escape.

The black skeleton opened his fingers and grasped at the void where Shen Luo was.

Shen Luo was suddenly surrounded by a green light ten times more intense than before, and it immobilized him, preventing him from escaping from here.

He snorted coldly, flipped his hand to take out the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, and performed the Splashy Chaotic Stick. Thirty-two stick shadows emerged and, with a bang, blasted the surrounding green light apart.

With a flicker, he left the green space and appeared outside, having already escaped from the black mountain range.

Shen Luo moved his arms, and a gold and silver light burst out from his arms, and he was about to perform the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique to escape.

This black skeleton definitely had the strength of the Taiyi Realm, and there were also many experts in the Demon Base. Although he was confident in his strength, it was hard to fight four hands with two fists, so it was better to escape first.

But before he could perform the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique, a green light flashed above his head, and the black skeleton appeared as well. A pitch-black bone claw reached out, the fierce claw wind causing Shen Luo's facial skin to sting from the pain.
