The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1744 - 1740 Half-step Heavenly Venerate

Master Yan waved his arm, and the Kunwu Sword’s tip unleashed a vortex of silver light. The earlier blood light shot out from the vortex, instantly appearing in front of Su Zhen.

Su Zhen was startled. She didn’t have time to manipulate the Giant Fox Dharma to block the attack. Instead, her silver rod radiated dazzling light as she swept it forward, striking the blood light.

With a deafening clash of metal, the blood light scattered from the blow, but Su Zhen was also forced back.

Master Yan moved both hands swiftly, and golden light flickered repeatedly in front of him. Twelve Buddha Armors manifested one after another, each radiating brilliant golden light as they charged at Su Zhen.

At that moment, two figures descended from the mid-air. Leading them was Bai Xiaotian, who intercepted the flying Shen Luo with an outstretched hand. From his palm, a golden halo surged out and entered Shen Luo’s body.

The injured parts of Shen Luo’s body sprouted innumerable strands of blood silk, rapidly intertwining and merging. Accompanied by the Huangdi Neijing, his internal injuries healed at an observable pace.

"Brother Yan, Brother Bai, why are you here?" Shen Luo’s pale complexion quickly regained color as he asked.

"Master, I brought them here. The battle at Xiangyang Town has already been settled. The Qingqiu Fox Clan has been defeated. I sensed your situation here was dire, so I brought them over for reinforcements," another figure rushed to Shen Luo’s side—it was Ghost General Zhao Feiji.

"The Fox Clan defeated? Impossible! I’ve already sent my troops to support Xiangyang Town. How could they have lost?!" Su Zhen’s furious voice echoed.

She was currently trapped within the Twelve Buddha Light Formation, preparing to break the formation. Upon hearing Zhao Feiji’s words, she halted her spellwork and expanded her Divine Sense toward Xiangyang Town, quickly enveloping an area spanning hundreds of li.

Su Zhen’s expression darkened. The situation was just as Zhao Feiji stated—the Qingqiu Fox Clan had indeed been defeated. Her subordinates from the Fox Clan were nowhere to be found.

Watching this unfold, Shen Luo’s brows furrowed. He transmitted his thoughts to the Fire Spirit Child, "Was this your doing?"

"How could it be? I’m merely a Tool Spirit; I don’t have that level of God’s Power!" The Fire Spirit Child immediately denied it.

Shen Luo nodded slightly. Capturing or confining all of Su Zhen’s subordinate Fox Clan members was indeed beyond the Fire Spirit Child’s capability.

"Su Zhen! This presence... what’s going on?" Bai Xiaotian, hearing Su Zhen’s voice, only then noticed the situation on the other side. His face shifted as he cried out in alarm.

"She absorbed the power of the Fox Ancestor from Tu Shanxue. Right now, she’s drawing the Power of Seven Emotions from that Fox Ancestor Statue as well. Her strength is nearing the Heavenly Venerate Realm," Shen Luo explained via transmitted thought.

"Heavenly Venerate Realm!" Bai Xiaotian and Master Yan gasped audibly.

"There’s no need to worry, gentlemen. I have a Half-Step Heavenly Venerate-level Yan Armor at hand. It should be enough to hold Su Zhen temporarily. The crucial task now is to destroy that Fox Ancestor Statue and stop her from growing stronger," Shen Luo continued, his injuries already mostly healed with Bai Xiaotian’s assistance.

"Half-Step Heavenly Venerate Yan Armor!" Master Yan’s eyes widened.

Back during the great battle at Xiangyang Town, Master Yan had been fully focused on his formation’s Array Eye and hadn’t noticed Shen Luo summoning the Destruction Mingwang Yan Armor.

"Brother Shen, are you referring to that human-shaped Yan Armor? If it truly possesses Half-Step Heavenly Venerate-level combat power, then we will proceed according to your plan. Let’s join forces and destroy that statue!" Bai Xiaotian nodded, recalling the Destruction Mingwang earlier.

Master Yan also nodded in agreement.

Su Zhen calmed down at this moment. Regardless of where her subordinates had gone, if she could eliminate the leading figures among these sects’ cultivators, the battle would still be a victory for the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Her figure shot out from within the Giant Fox Dharma, lunging forward to strike at Master Yan.

The Giant Fox Dharma followed closely behind, its claws radiating blade-like beams that slashed down upon Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian.

Master Yan remained fully alert, anticipating Su Zhen’s move. Yet even so, her speed caught him off guard.

In haste, he could only reverse the Kunwu Sword to block in front of him, positioning himself behind the sword and using it as a protective shield against Su Zhen’s assault.

Su Zhen’s palm struck the Kunwu Sword, and the immense force of impact sent Master Yan flying backward.

Seeing this, Shen Luo rushed forward, wielding the War God Whip to sweep across and intercept Su Zhen, halting her pursuit.

At the same time, Shen Luo gestured behind him. With a burst of dazzling light, the Destruction Mingwang Yan Armor appeared, its radiant power fully restored. It had grown several times larger, now resembling the scale of the Giant Fox Dharma.

The Sun Battle Axe erupted with radiant firelight akin to the sun, slashing horizontally toward the Giant Fox Dharma.

The Giant Fox Dharma appeared highly intelligent, immediately altering the direction of its claws to meet the Sun Battle Axe head-on.

Two massive explosions boomed as Su Zhen and the Giant Fox Dharma were both temporarily blocked.

"I’ll hold her off! You must hurry to destroy the Ancestral Spirit Statue, but beware of the prohibitions there," Shen Luo transmitted to Master Yan and the others.

Having been struck directly by Su Zhen’s attack earlier, Master Yan understood the vast gap between their abilities. Engaging her directly would be getting himself killed. Without hesitation, he flew toward the altar.

Bai Xiaotian, having shared a deep bond with Shen Luo over many years, understood him instinctively. Without any doubt of Shen Luo’s judgment, he transformed into a white light and shot toward the altar.

Zhao Feiji, however, did not follow behind the two. He flipped his hand to retrieve the Dragon-burying Flute, and from his Dantian, a black flame ignited, spreading rapidly across his body as he raised the flute to his lips and began to play.

An ethereal melody drifted out, forming visible sound waves in mid-air that floated toward Su Zhen.

Su Zhen, seeing Master Yan and Bai Xiaotian already arriving outside the altar, displayed an expression of urgency in her eyes. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Get lost!" She roared, unleashing a giant fox claw from the void that pressed down heavily toward Shen Luo.

Shen Luo refused to retreat a single step. Ignoring whether it might harm his body, he forcefully drew out all the Mana and Demonic Qi within himself, funneling it into the Xuan Yang Demonic Transformation Divine Power.

The golden-black radiance over his body intensified instantly. The golden demonic patterns on his surface squirmed and intertwined like living creatures, showing signs of merging into one.

Shen Luo’s pupils shrank. The Xuan Yang Demonic Transformation Divine Power he had mastered could harmonize Mana and Demonic Qi, but the two had remained distinct. His transformation had always resulted in half his body as a demon and the other half as immortal. Now, as they began to merge, it was uncertain whether this development was a blessing or a curse.

He couldn’t afford to dwell on the matter, though. Shen Luo infused the Xuan Yang Demonic Force into the War God Whip, which erupted with a surge of black light and struck fiercely toward the massive fox claw.

A thunderous explosion shook the earth!

Shen Luo was sent flying through the air, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood. Su Zhen was also pushed back two steps.

On the other side, the Giant Fox Dharma and the Destruction Mingwang clashed fiercely. The Destruction Mingwang’s power had reached its peak, with spiritual light thickening several times over its surface. The Sun Battle Axe radiated writhing, flame-like snakes that distorted the nearby void, seemingly on the brink of melting it.

Another deafening crash ensued. The Destruction Mingwang was pushed back, but the Giant Fox Dharma had been effectively blocked.
