The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1740 - 1736: Human or Demon?
Chapter 1740: Chapter 1736: Human or Demon?
Hu Bugui spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath growing unstable, yet he still gritted his teeth and endured the wounds to complete the Earth Escape Technique. His figure, wrapped in a yellow halo, shrank into the ground and disappeared.
Su Zhen wanted to pursue, but Shen Luo once again blocked her path.
"You..." Su Zhen snarled angrily.
Shen Luo watched her furious expression, his heart tightening slightly. The aura radiating from Su Zhen at that moment had already far surpassed the Taiyi Late Stage.
The overwhelmingly oppressive power, almost material in form, could rival that of a Half-step Heavenly Venerate Realm.
However, to buy time, Shen Luo did not choose to retreat.
Beside him stood the Destruction Mingwang Yan Armor, holding the Hongming Saber in one hand and the Sun Battle Axe in the other, standing vigilant.
Shen Luo himself retrieved the War God Whip and held it in his hand.
With his greatly enhanced Soul Power at this moment, controlling the Destruction Mingwang was far smoother than before. He no longer needed to enter the control chamber and could operate the armor from outside.
Su Zhen’s eyes flashed with fury as she realized catching up to Tu Shanxue was now impossible. All her hatred turned to Shen Luo, her eyes narrowing slightly as killing intent solidified around her. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Die!"
Su Zhen shouted furiously, raising her palm and striking at Shen Luo.
A massive, blood-red palm print instantly pressed into the void above Shen Luo, causing it to collapse and weigh down upon him.
Shen Luo dared not take it head-on, but when he tried to dodge, he discovered that the surrounding space seemed frozen. His Cloud Chasing Lightning Boots and Slanting Moon Steps couldn’t escape from the area covered by the palm print.
Left with no choice, the Destruction Mingwang Yan Armor stepped forward. The long knife and battle axe in its hands crossed to resist upward, facing the crimson palm print.
A muffled "boom" echoed.
Shen Luo watched as the body of the Destruction Mingwang shuddered intensely, dust cascading from its form.
The tremendous force shook the entire mountain cliff, triggering deafening rumblings outside the altar and splitting the ground into a spiderweb-like crack.
The Destruction Mingwang Yan Armor’s legs had already pierced into the rock like sharp blades.
Shen Luo’s eyes flickered with surprise at this sight. The force of the crimson giant palm was far weaker than he had anticipated. After all, he had once fought against Chiyou and understood the battle strength of the Heavenly Venerate Realm well.
After a brief contemplation, he understood. It was likely because Su Zhen had just acquired this power, and her original physique couldn’t fully adapt to it, so she couldn’t unleash the complete force.
Realizing this, Shen Luo gained a measure of confidence.
In the eyes of the Destruction Mingwang, purple lightning flickered as the Eyes of World Destruction activated, shooting two bolts of purple lightning straight at Su Zhen.
Su Zhen noticed the attack and immediately swung her silver cane in front of her.
The two bolts of purple lightning struck the silver cane directly, producing a loud roar.
The charm patterns on the cane lit up instantly, and a silver shield emerged on its surface, blocking the shockwave from the purple lightning blast.
The silver shield shattered on impact, and the residual power of the Eyes of World Destruction dissipated completely.
Shen Luo, clutching the War God Whip, was about to close in on Su Zhen, when his movements froze abruptly, his eyes full of vigilance as he gazed toward the Golden Sword Array.
Just as his gaze shifted, a resounding "bang" broke the silence!
The Golden Sword Array exploded with light, scattering all the flying swords as it was forcefully broken from within.
From the prison-like sword formation, three grey-clothed figures emerged—the grey-clothed elder briefly glanced at Shen Luo and Su Zhen, then decisively ordered, "Go."
As soon as his words fell, he ignored the two of them and led his companions to perform an escape technique, disappearing instantly.
Shen Luo was deeply astonished, unable to fathom their motives, only assuming they were chasing after Hu Bugui and Tu Shanxue.
Su Zhen, meanwhile, remained unperturbed, merely letting out a disdainful snort before actively launching an attack on Shen Luo.
With her cultivation skyrocketing, her speed had increased dramatically—she took just one step, shrinking the distance, and instantly appeared before Shen Luo, striking a palm at his chest.
Shen Luo, naturally, dared not take the blow head-on; moonlight scattered beneath him as he dodged swiftly.
However, just as he sidestepped, Su Zhen’s figure had already closed in again, her palm still crashing down.
Shen Luo realized evasion was impossible and summoned the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet before him, its radiant golden light illuminating the space.
Su Zhen’s palm struck the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, unleashing a powerful spiritual pressure—golden light retracted, absorbing the force, only to reach its limit immediately.
With a deafening "bang," two cracks appeared on the surface of the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, and all its spiritual light dispersed, its internal prohibitions clearly destroyed.
Thanks to this treasure’s buffer, Su Zhen’s attack was greatly weakened, and the explosive aftermath merely sent Shen Luo flying back.
Shen Luo’s sturdy body remained unscathed—he waved his sleeve to collect the broken goblet and leveraged his momentum to retreat, pulling away from Su Zhen.
Su Zhen was unwilling to let him escape and immediately pursued.
Suddenly, purple lightning flashed ahead—bolt after massive bolt crashed down, tearing the void apart. The Destruction Mingwang Yan Armor had flown in.
Even Su Zhen felt apprehensive about this half-step Heavenly Venerate Armor and swiftly dodged aside.
Shen Luo leapt onto the armor’s vicinity, forming seals with both hands as golden-black light erupted skyward from his body. Once again, he activated the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation Divine Power.
The disparity in strength between him and Su Zhen was truly immense—his ordinary human form simply couldn’t withstand her. Only by activating the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation Divine Power could he hope to hold his own.
Although Su Zhen had seen Shen Luo in this form before, witnessing this half-human, half-demon body again still gave her pause.
"Are you Human Race or Demon Clan?" she asked in confusion, sensing Chiyou’s Demonic Qi on Shen Luo.
Shen Luo did not answer, calculating his next move quickly.
From their prior exchanges, he could clearly feel that Su Zhen’s strength surpassed even Tu Shanxue’s—he and the Destruction Mingwang together might still fall short.
The conflict in Xiangyang Town was ongoing—if Su Zhen reached that place, it would spell calamity for the Allied Forces of Various Sects.
Furthermore, the Fox Clan faction aligned with Su Zhen had yet to make an appearance. This person was cunning—who knew what schemes lay in wait?
"Enough—Human or Demon, you’re an enemy either way," Su Zhen snorted coldly, wielding her silver rod and sweeping a wave of dark red light directly toward Shen Luo.
