The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1745 - 1741: At the Point of Life and Death

At this moment, Master Yan and Bai Xiaotian had already reached the ancestral spirit statue. Master Yan gripped the Kunwu Sword, channeling his entire strength, and slashed fiercely at the Fox Clan ancestral spirit statue.

The immense sword body lit up with radiant spirit patterns, emanating a dazzling golden sword radiance that descended with overwhelming force. A deafening explosion accompanied the strike, and half the mountain peak shuddered in response.

However, amidst the swirling dust, Master Yan’s Kunwu Sword was rebounded violently. A hemispherical dark crimson prohibition light curtain appeared on the altar, shielding the ancestral spirit statue like an overturned ocean bowl.

Master Yan stared at the sudden emergence of the prohibition, his expression darkening as he inwardly noted its complexity.

On one side, Bai Xiaotian was about to act when the ancestral spirit statue within the prohibition suddenly had its eyes flash with red light. The corners of its lips curled upwards as if mocking their attack.

Before the two could strike again, several dark crimson rays of light burst forth from the surface of the stone pillars on the altar, shooting crazily toward them.

Master Yan quickly raised his sword to block the assault, but as the red light struck the sword body, it emitted a series of "sizzling" noises accompanied by corrosive white smoke, causing him a pang of anguish.

"Vajra Body Protection!"

Bai Xiaotian shouted forcefully. Golden light emanated from his and Master Yan’s bodies, rapidly enveloping them in a layer of Vajra Dharma-form, barely resisting the red light’s attack.

This was the Mount Putuo defensive secret technique "Vajra Body Protection," which could add impenetrable Buddhist Vajra protection to oneself and one’s allies.

Immediately afterward, Bai Xiaotian flipped his hand and summoned a golden Demon Subduing Pestle, which he abruptly shook.

The sound of a thunderbolt rang out!

Amidst dazzling radiance, a golden giant pestle phantom, over a hundred feet long and imbued with overwhelming might, descended from the sky like a divine weapon. It struck the prohibition light curtain in an instant.

At the same time, Master Yan leaped to another side, his Kunwu Sword releasing dozens of feet of dazzling sword light that slashed at the prohibition surrounding the statue like an opening giant sword.

The prohibition light curtain, under the immense pressure, sank inward deeply. Strained by the combined force, it began to contract and deform, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Just as the two believed their attacks were effective, the contracting prohibition light curtain suddenly expanded. A tremendous force erupted, propelling Bai Xiaotian backward.

Witnessing this, You Sufin’s expression relaxed slightly. She raised her hand and struck into the void.

Two crimson light blades shot forth, targeting Master Yan and Bai Xiaotian. Yet, two black whip shadows flew from the front and shattered the crimson light blades instantly—Shen Luo appeared again, shielding You Sufin.

"Since you’re tired of living, allow me to fulfill your wish!" You Sufin’s gaze filled with murderous intent as she transformed into a flashing shadow, lunging toward Shen Luo.

Her arms rapidly enlarged, transforming into two enormous fox claws, muscles bulging and taut. They appeared even more cruelly powerful than Shen Luo’s arms, with ten iron-hook-like claws projecting icy light. With a sound akin to tearing, they aimed directly for Shen Luo’s chest.

Shen Luo’s pupils contracted as the War God Whip in his hand morphed into layers of whip shadows to protect him.

Behind him, a yellow shadow flickered—it was the Sky Fiend Corpse King who had recovered. The Turn Sky Seal spun rapidly, expanding to the size of a house, and ruthlessly smashed toward You Sufin.

You Sufin sneered lightly. One of her fox claws enveloped in layers of red light, reached out directly toward the Turn Sky Seal.

With a resounding metallic clash, sparks flew as the Turn Sky Seal was forcefully knocked away.

Meanwhile, You Sufin’s other fox claw targeted the dense whip shadows. Her fingertips emanated five crimson light blades that shredded the whip shadows like paper, sending the War God Whip flying.

Shen Luo quickly retreated, but amid the fierce wind, two blurred fox claws appeared before him, plunging at his chest as though celestial weapons striking.

Startled, Shen Luo hastily brought his fists to meet the claws, punching forward.

A thunderous collision echoed. Shen Luo’s fists throbbed with immense pain, revealing wounds deep enough to expose the bone. His entire body was flung away, crashing heavily against the stone wall near the altar, generating a booming sound.

The already battered altar finally reached its limit under this impact and completely collapsed with a deafening roar.

Though Shen Luo’s formidable Xuan Yang Demon Transformation form granted him incredible resilience, he only suffered minor flesh wounds. Yet, his mind teetered on the brink of dizziness.

Before he could recover, his limbs suddenly tightened as crimson fox tails coiled tightly around him. A ghostly shadow flashed before him—You Sufin appeared again, clutching his shoulder with one claw and his leg with the other.

Her appearance had transformed dramatically. Her body expanded significantly, her legs and torso becoming unnaturally sturdy, her eyes glowing vibrant crimson. Behind her, nine crimson fox tails swirled ferociously, creating an intimidating scene reminiscent of an ancient beast god’s descent.

"Die!" You Sufin snarled viciously, her eyes flashing with savagery as her arms swung.

Shen Luo’s entire skeletal structure creaked menacingly, threatening to shatter as if he were about to be torn apart. Overwhelmed, he frantically activated the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation Divine Power to grasp You Sufin’s arm forcefully, battling in sheer desperation.

Yet, You Sufin’s strength now resembled an unyielding tidal wave; Shen Luo’s arms were effortlessly pushed aside, and the black-gold radiance enveloping his body was almost completely shattered.

"So this is the strength of a Heavenly Venerate-stage Fox Clan member! Am I truly going to perish here? No! I have so much left to accomplish—I refuse to die here!" His heart sank, but he roared defiantly as his gaze turned blood-red, his body igniting in roaring black flames.

Suppressing the sixteen Pure Yang Swords within his Dantian, he activated the Chiyou Martial Secrets and unleashed the demonic qi hidden within his meridians, channeling it entirely into his Xuan Yang Demon Transformation form.

Xuan Yang Demon Transformation was a divine power he had derived through the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle’s forces, fusing demonic qi with mana—a balance between celestial and demonic energy. Normally, each transformation required the energies to remain meticulously balanced, with Shen Luo only drawing on a portion of the demonic qi.

In this life-and-death crisis, he disregarded the risks of losing control over the transformation; staying alive was the priority now.

With this resolve, Shen Luo’s body emitted crackling detonations everywhere as the wounds on his fists healed instantly. His fingers transformed into pitch-black claws, etched with intricate black patterns that seemed utterly indestructible.

But the transformation didn’t cease there. The Chiyou Martial Secrets began spinning uncontrollably within him, drawing Yin Sha vitality from all directions into his form.

The demonic qi in Shen Luo’s body surged rapidly. His figure expanded yet again, his entire skin covered in dark purple demonic patterns, even the celestial half of his body shared in this grotesque transformation, resembling pitch-black devil armor.

An immense aura erupted from him, vastly surpassing his previous level of power, yet surprisingly stable.
