The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1713 - 1709: Black Passage

Facing the surging blood-colored waves, Seven Kills showed no trace of fear. His hands moved like spinning car wheels, forming seals, as he sprayed out a mouthful of pure mana, merging it into the Five-Color Flag Box.

The five small colored flags inside the box immediately shot out, scattering abruptly in different directions, landing in five spots around the Blood Sea. With a soft "puff," they pierced into the void.

Golden, green, blue, red, and yellow beams of light radiated from the commanding flags, accompanied by countless flashing five-colored spiritual symbols that rapidly connected with one another.

Within moments, a massive five-colored light formation coalesced into shape, enveloping the entirety of the Blood Sea.

The blood-colored waves slammed fiercely against the light formation, causing it to shudder violently. Cracks emerged across the formation, and large sprays of blood surged forth, yet the majority of the Blood Sea remained confined within its bounds.

"I can barely control three of the Command Flags. The remaining two are up to you—quick!" Seven Kills spread his five fingers, releasing three streaks of black light that infused into the golden, green, and blue flags.

Master Yan and Jiang Shentian flashed forward, darting to the red and yellow Command Flags, channeling their mana into them. freёweɓnovel.com

The five Command Flags erupted in dazzling brilliance, emanating sounds akin to dragon roars and tiger growls. Countless multi-colored light specks appeared within the five-colored light formation, streaming toward its center.

In the blink of an eye, the five-colored light formation burst into radiant splendor. Not only did the fractures fully mend, but layers of light curtains also emerged, expanding the formation’s coverage over twice its original size, securely trapping the entirety of the Blood Sea.

"The power within this Blood Sea is exceedingly immense. We aren’t sure how long we can contain it—you better hurry!" Seven Kills barked at Shen Luo and the other three.

"Rest assured!" Shen Luo replied, as purple lightning surged under his feet and he shot toward the depths of the palace.

Nie Caizhu, Bai Xiaotian, and Lu Huaming quickly followed, disappearing into the palace’s darkness.

All outside noises instantly vanished, and the four seemed to have entered a sealed-off space.

Shen Luo activated his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld and scanned the surroundings, yet he was unable to penetrate the surrounding darkness.

His gaze flickered briefly as he unleashed his Divine Sense. Almost immediately, his mind reeled in unbearable pain; his Divine Sense was swiftly devoured by the dense darkness around him, just as before.

Nonetheless, within the split second, Shen Luo managed to survey the interior of the hall and promptly withdrew his Divine Sense while employing the techniques within the Yellow Emperor Sutra to nurture his Divine Soul, bringing a soothing coolness to his mind.

At that moment, the darkness inside the palace intensified exponentially, and countless exotic beasts—black tigers, black wolves, giant pythons—emerged from within, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged toward the group.

Shen Luo formed a seal with his fingers and waved, summoning nine Pure Yang Swords that spiraled around him, flying in a dance-like motion.

The sharp and unstoppable Sword Qi slashed through the air, cutting into the surrounding darkness.

Bai Xiaotian flipped his hand and summoned a folding fan magic treasure embroidered with a majestic depiction of a dragon riding clouds—a Dragon-Painting Fan. He wielded it toward one side with a powerful sweep.

With piercing sounds, a wave of golden radiant light surged forth like a furious tide, containing several colossal golden dragons clawing at the dark exotic beasts.

Lu Huaming had already drawn Frost Cold Nine Realms and slashed across the void.

A hundred-foot-long blue Sword Qi tore through the air, exploding with an overwhelmingly forceful momentum that resembled the eruption of a volcano—unstoppable as it surged forward, overshadowing the attacks of Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian.

The three worked together seamlessly, effortlessly obliterating all the dark exotic beasts that had attacked.

However, the surrounding dark energy showed no signs of diminishing. Following a low rumble, countless black light arrows shot forth.

Nie Caizhu flipped her hand and summoned the Kunlun Mirror, preparing to act, when Shen Luo’s voice resounded in her mind: "Caizhu, focus on locating the enemy’s whereabouts. Leave the dark energy to us."

Her eyebrows twitched subtly, and her figure vanished into the Kunlun Mirror.

The Kunlun Mirror transformed into a black disk and melted into the surrounding darkness, disappearing from sight.

Shen Luo once again commanded the nine Pure Yang Swords, unleashing dense streams of Sword Qi to shred through the surrounding black light arrows. Bai Xiaotian and Lu Huaming joined in, extracting and obliterating every single arrow.

Just then, Shen Luo’s expression hardened; he keenly perceived that the shattered light arrows transformed into threads of dark energy, merging back into the surrounding darkness. A third wave of attacks was already brewing.

"This is similar to the Ten Thousand Demons Banner—it absorbs scattered energies to launch repeated attacks. Ordinary strategies won’t suffice against this," Shen Luo mused swiftly, flipping his hand to summon an azure-blue treasured fan. Encircled by magnificent starlight, it was none other than the Starry Fan.

The moment Bai Xiaotian saw Shen Luo summon the Starry Fan, his expression froze, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the artifact as if entranced.

Shen Luo, too occupied to notice Bai Xiaotian’s unusual behavior, activated the Huangting Technique, radiating dazzling golden light. He swiftly formed the Three Stars Demolishing Demons Dharma Seal with his fingers and pointed toward the sky.

The Starry Fan in his hand erupted with even greater starlight, surging around the area like a roaring galaxy, pushing back the surrounding darkness within tens of feet.

The darkness in this place possessed yin attribute divine powers, which were precisely countered by the Three Stars Demolishing Demons Technique. Moreover, the Starry Fan, as a starry artifact, significantly boosted the effectiveness of the technique. Shen Luo had long wanted an excuse to test the fan’s power, and today, the chance finally arrived.

A vast cascade of starlight burst forth suddenly, illuminating the night sky so brilliantly that it seemed as though it had transformed into daylight.

Sensing the celestial phenomenon above, Shen Luo’s face revealed astonishment as he looked at the Starry Fan with delight in his eyes.

The Starry Fan had amplified the Three Stars Demolishing Demons Technique to such an astounding level!

"Three Stars Demolishing Demons!" Shen Luo quickly suppressed his shock and concentration; with a vigorous swing of the treasured fan in his hand, he unleashed its formidable power.

BOOM!

Massive beams of starlight descended from the heavens, pouring into the palace’s darkness and forming a vast ocean of starlight where countless starry projections flickered. It was like the night sky had collapsed onto the ground, shredding through all the darkness within the palace.

Shrill cries erupted as innumerable shadowy figures emerged within the palace, attempting to flee outside, but the immense radiance of the starlight had sealed the palace entirely. Those shadows could only struggle fruitlessly in torment before swiftly vaporizing under the piercingly brilliant starlight, reducing to wisps of green smoke that dissipated.

Bai Xiaotian and Lu Huaming were also immobilized by the starry power’s grip, each internally shaken by its overwhelming force.

The palace’s dark energy began to evaporate rapidly. Within a few breaths, the entire palace was cleared of the oppressive darkness save for a shadow entrenched in the depths of its floor, stubbornly resisting the surrounding starry onslaught.

Seeing the scene before him, Shen Luo raised his brows and brought his hands together to form a sealing spell.

The ocean of starlight filling the palace froze abruptly, transforming into an immense Star Seal Array Diagram.

With a sharp "crack," the black shadow in the palace depths exploded, dispersing into smoke and revealing a concealed Black Magic Array beneath. Within the array, endless black qi surged, faintly forming a black passageway to an unknown destination.
