The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 979

Chapter 979: 976 Chapter Daring Chapter 979: 976 Chapter Daring Shen Luo drifted along the river, and gradually the surroundings became darker, with more and more water ghosts floating by beneath him, like clusters of ethereal willow fluff.

Seeing they had no intention of bothering him, Shen Luo couldn't be bothered to contend with them either; right now, he just wanted to reach the Underworld as soon as possible without any further complications.

It was at this moment that the water ahead suddenly became turbulent, and the small boat beneath him seemed to lose control, speeding towards the front. Before Shen Luo could regain control, it crashed into a protruding reef in the water.

There was a loud “bang”.

The already ancient and tattered boat disintegrated upon colliding with the reef, exploding apart instantly.

Shen Luo was thrown into the air by the momentum of the forward rush, leaping directly into mid-air.

A frown creased his brow, and a flash of anger flickered in the depths of his eyes.

It wasn't the currents that had changed just now, but rather an invisible force that had drawn the boat, making it suddenly accelerate.

Mana began to circulate within Shen Luo, and he immediately stabilized his form, slowly falling towards the water surface.

But at that moment, the same invisible force reappeared, this time directly targeting Shen Luo himself.

He felt a sluggishness all over as if suddenly shackled, his body sank abruptly, plummeting into the river.

At the same time, the water below rapidly receded to both banks, revealing a riverbed of white bones from which countless snow-white skulls gathered together, forming into a colossal skull nearly a hundred feet in size.

There were no fluctuations of Qi emanating from the skull, just a gaping maw that slowly opened, revealing a black vortex within where deathly Qi coalesced, slowly swirling towards Shen Luo.

“Seeking death.”

Shen Luo bellowed furiously, his body aglow with golden light, instantly breaking free from the binding force that was on him.

He clenched his fist in one arm and hammered forward with force.

A white jade-like gloss shone on his arm, as layers of mana seemed to vaporize around his fist, spiraling with his punch, which smashed into the massive skull.

With a loud “boom”, the mana and Qi wrapped around Shen Luo's fist instantly transformed into a golden pillar of light, shooting straight into the gaping mouth of the white bone skull, striking the black vortex within violently.

For a time, the deathly Qi boiled, the rolling black fog did not dissipate; instead, it spread out in all directions, causing the water ghosts attracted by the commotion to flee.

Those who were unfortunately touched by it were immediately tainted by the deathly Qi, fading into nothingness.

The rolling deathly Qi also climbed up the golden light pillar, assaulting Shen Luo.

But before the deathly Qi could rise by much, a strong shockwave exploded below.

The white bone skull on the riverbed shattered, and the black vortex was disintegrated.

The man in blue robes who had just approached saw this and felt a subtle shock, but without a hint of hesitation, he raised his sleeve towards Shen Luo and waved.

A green light emanated from his cuff, and a four-sided Ghost Seal with a ghastly ghost face carved upon it descended from the sky, instantly growing a hundred times larger, smashing down on Shen Luo from above.

“So it was you making mischief, wasn't it?”

Shen Luo scoffed, unfazed, and with a casual wave of his hand, the Six Chen Whip transformed into a streak of black light that shot out and struck the Four-sided Ghost Seal, causing a series of explosions.

The man in blue robes, upon seeing this, had a drastic change in complexion.

Shen Luo, however, didn't pay too much attention to that man, as he only diverted a wisp of his spirit to control the Six Chen Whip and engage in battle with him, his gaze instead shifting to another part of the mountain wall that appeared empty and uneven.

“Since it's an ambush, shouldn't you all act together? What's the point of attacking one by one?” Shen Luo said with a smile.

No sooner had he spoken than the rock wall his gaze fell upon let out a dull roar. A large section of the “rock wall” actually separated from the mountain and lunged at him.

Features rapidly formed on that piece of rock wall as it split into limbs, one of which was a massive fist that smashed towards Shen Luo.

At the same time, the numerous white bones that had just been scattered below him had reassembled, transforming back into a giant skull with green ghostly light shining from its wide-open mouth, where a Chaotic Vortex eerily emerged.

“Three True Immortal Middle Stage Ghost Kings, and you have the audacity to ambush me?” Shen Luo scoffed coldly.

He lifted an arm which radiated a pure luster, and for an instant, his entire being seemed somewhat translucent. The mana surged through the golden bones and converged toward the fist.

“Whoosh”

A punch was thrown, and the sound of wind amplified.

A giant golden fist shadow formed in front of him, its bone structure clearly visible as if Shen Luo's arm was magnified a hundred times, colliding with the mountain wall giant ghost's fist.

After a muffled “bang,” a series of explosive sounds followed.

The mountain wall giant ghost's arm shattered inch by inch, blasting into countless fragments of stone and revealing a pitch-black ghostly evil spirit with blood-red eyes hidden inside.

Half of its arm was blown to pieces, and the ghost's body uncontrollably retreated, violently crashing against the rock wall.

Meanwhile, the green vortex in the giant skull ghost king's mouth had already unleashing strands of green deathly Qi around Shen Luo's leg. The corrosive power emanating from it immediately turned his clothing to grey-white ash, which then disintegrated into ashes.

The exposed calf also began to corrode bit by bit, gradually turning grey-white.

On the other hand, the man in blue robes was not idle. He was the first to notice Shen Luo entering the Netherworld and had contacted the other two ghost kings to ambush Shen Luo en route. Despite his internal panic, he knew he couldn't back down.

The scenario of the three joining forces could still hold; once they fled, certain death awaited.

Hanging in the void from afar, his hands moved swiftly, seemingly operating the Ghost Seal at full strength, trying to suppress the Six Chen Whip.

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation transmitted through the void, and the man in blue robes, who had been suspended there, dissolved like smoke and vanished from the spot.

Almost at the same time, behind Shen Luo–where there had been no ripple of mana–a figure abruptly appeared.

“Got him…” A glimpse of triumphant joy flashed across the man in blue robes' face as he suddenly thrust a semi-transparent short blade toward Shen Luo's heart.

The short dagger was engraved with complex charm patterns, emanating waves of sealing power. Once it pierced Shen Luo's body and touched his blood, it could activate an instant seal, locking all his mana.

At that moment, golden light burst forth from around Shen Luo, and the image of a golden tower materialized out of thin air, enveloping him in the center.

“Clang”

The short blade of the man in blue robes struck the golden tower shadow and was immediately repelled.
