The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1738 - 1734: The Power of Taiyi

The towering White Bone Blood Fox faced Shen Luo, who was charging straight at him, without any intention of evading. A flash of red light appeared in his eyes, and two intensely condensed blood flames erupted instantly, shooting forward rapidly.

A muffled "bang" echoed.

The Golden Sword Array was struck by the blood flames and exploded in an instant. Ten Pure Yang Flying Swords were blasted away with immense force. Shen Luo attempted to gather them back with his mind, but for a moment, he couldn’t succeed.

Half of the Pure Yang Flying Swords scattered around were contaminated by Demonic Qi, showing large black spots on their surfaces.

"What incredibly strong invasive power!"

Shen Luo marvelled inwardly, but his movements didn’t falter in the slightest. He still swung his whip forward fiercely.

After scattering the Golden Sword Array, the White Bone Blood Fox grew even more imposing. Behind it, raging blood flames coalesced into giant fox tails that lashed past its body, whipping toward Shen Luo.

At this moment, Shen Luo was fully focused on accumulating his power. If interrupted, his momentum would falter, and it would likely be impossible to break through the Great Formation again.

Without dodging in the slightest, he charged forward directly. Just as he was about to be surrounded by the fox tails, the figure of the Destruction Mingwang reappeared. With a sudden swing of the Sun Battle Axe in his hand, the blade lit up with blazing red light, as though it were searingly transparent, and slashed upward diagonally.

The enormous axe blade swept across and immediately severed three fox tails. Shen Luo leapt through the void left behind, his War God Whip gathering golden light, forming a massive whip shadow, which he prepared to swing fiercely toward the Wanhu Extinguishing Formation.

But then, yet another unexpected event occurred!

The curled-up head of the Blood Fox suddenly stretched forward, opening its massive jaws to devour Shen Luo at lightning speed. The abyssal mouth was filled with surging blood flames, blocking Shen Luo’s path.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, two bolts of purple lightning shot from the Destruction Mingwang’s eyes and struck into the mouth of the White Bone Blood Fox.

The head of the White Bone Blood Fox reared back, and with a soft "pop," a massive opening burst open in the back of its skull. A shadowy figure unexpectedly passed through its mouth and arrived at the edge of the array.

The towering grey-clothed man guarding that area still had his hand attached to the crystal skull, but his heart screamed, "Not good!"

In the next instant, an earth-shaking roar resounded!

The enormous whip shadow of the War God Whip struck down upon the Wanhu Extinguishing Formation, unleashing an indescribably terrifying wave of energy. The Witch Clan’s power within expanded instantly, infused with a prohibitive force specifically designed to annihilate divine souls, surging like a volcanic eruption.

"Boom!"

With a deafening explosion, the Wanhu Extinguishing Formation shattered completely. Countless phantom fox spirits burst apart, transforming into innumerable green starlights scattering in every direction.

Taking advantage of this, Shen Luo swept back all the Pure Yang Flying Swords, sending them into the Carefree Mirror. Using the Blood Claw Stab, he helped absorb the Demonic Qi tainting them and swallowed an elixir to replenish his mana.

As the Wanhu Extinguishing Formation collapsed, the outer Profound Fire Demon Killing Formation also trembled violently. Although it wasn’t directly breached, the crystal skull sustaining the offensive clash cracked apart instantly.

The delicate fusion between the two formations’ essence was also disrupted. With only the Profound Fire Demon Killing Formation remaining, it was naturally incapable of trapping Shen Luo any longer.

Yet Shen Luo didn’t immediately break the formation. Instead, he activated his War God Whip once again. A horrifying black vortex emerged, enveloping the scattered phantom fox spirits. It was the Soul Devouring Array within the War God Whip.

The vortex unleashed a horrifying devouring power, shredding and consuming all nearby phantom fox spirits in an instant until none remained.

The bird-head carving on the War God Whip’s handle suddenly seemed to come alive, opening its mouth and spitting out a tiny white pearl the size of a thumb. This was the pure essence of soul power refined from the utter annihilation of the fox spirits and ghosts through the Soul Devouring Array, returning to its origin.

The white pearl shot into Shen Luo’s forehead and merged with his soul.

Shen Luo’s forehead immediately throbbed with pain as his Soul Power surged, increasing by nearly half.

"The Soul Devouring Array truly lives up to its name!" Shen Luo thought with delight. Trading the Qiankun Xuanhuo Tower for this treasure had been well worth it.

His divine soul had already been nearing the peak of the True Immortal Realm, and with this improvement, he could faintly sense an invisible gate—the bottleneck to the Taiyi Stage.

Once broken through, his Soul Power would reach an entirely new level. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Shen Luo’s gaze flickered as the War God Whip turned into a streak of black light and shot out of his hand. The surrounding Soul Devouring Array resembled a giant maw that could devour the heavens and earth, pouncing on the remaining phantom fox spirits.

The lingering phantom fox spirits in the formation were swiftly annihilated, completely refined. Only a blurred figure stubbornly stood within the black vortex, resisting the vortex’s devouring force.

Shen Luo was slightly surprised and prepared to disperse the figure with a wave of his hand. However, the blurred figure’s face became clear—it was the Lord of Qingqiu Kingdom.

"Please... stop You Sufin... save my daughter..." The Lord of Qingqiu Kingdom pleaded with Shen Luo before succumbing to the Soul Devouring Array, dissolving into a sphere of green light that merged within.

The bird-head carving on the War God Whip’s handle opened its mouth once more, spitting out another white pearl that fused into Shen Luo’s divine soul.

This white pearl contained even more Soul Power than the previous one. Shen Luo’s Soul Power increased again, this time by over half, completely unlocking the gate to the Taiyi Stage.

Waves of immense Soul Power erupted from his mind, almost tangible, creating ripples in the surrounding void that far exceeded the power of an ordinary Taiyi Cultivator.

"You Sufin... Chief Strategist You Su..." Shen Luo murmured as he sensed the full refining process of the Soul Devouring Array, a look of melancholy crossing his face.

The Soul Devouring Array’s refinement of Soul Power was extremely wasteful due to the need to peel away emotions, memories, and other elements. Retaining even ten percent of the divine soul was considered fortunate.

The abundance of Soul Essence just obtained was because the Lord of Qingqiu Kingdom hadn’t resisted at all, even actively stripping away emotions and memories from her divine soul. This act was essentially self-destruction of the three souls and six spirits, forever forfeiting the chance for reincarnation.

The War God Whip’s devouring and refining process ended in just two or three breaths. The three grey-clothed figures outside hadn’t even reacted before everything was concluded.

"What just happened? What kind of divine ability was that black vortex?" the grey-clothed woman exclaimed.

The tall grey-clothed man didn’t respond. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the White Bone Blood Fox.

The White Bone Blood Fox, whose head had been pierced by the Eyes of World Destruction, flared with blood light again and opened its jaws to bite at Shen Luo once more.

This time, Shen Luo didn’t even turn around. He could already feel the extraordinarily dense killing intent.

His body suddenly twisted, facing the White Bone Blood Fox, and bellowed, "Begone!"

With this furious roar, the vast ocean-like Soul Power rippled out mixed with soundwaves, immediately stunning the viciously attacking White Bone Blood Fox. It froze in place, completely immobilized.

Meanwhile, the tall grey-clothed man controlling the fox outside the array had his entire arm turned to stark white bone. His vacant eyes glazed over, and two streams of serpentine blood flowed from his ears. Even he had suffered severe soul shock.

"Such immense Soul Power... This level must’ve already surpassed the Taiyi Realm... No, it’s even stronger than an ordinary Taiyi Cultivator..." the grey-clothed elder cried out in shock.
