The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1553 - 1549: Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring the Heart
Chapter 1553: Chapter 1549: Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring the Heart
Ghost Vine Master showed no surprise when the grey-black Yin light was shattered; he cast a spell again to activate the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, sending out seven or eight streaks of the same grey-black Yin light, slashing towards Shen Luo.
"How thick the Yin Qi is! Master, let me go out and deal with this big banner!" Just as Shen Luo was about to make a move, Zhao Feiji excitedly called out from within the Qiankun Bag.
"Alright, you can use this banner later, but don’t consume too much of its power." With a thought, Shen Luo waved his hand and released Zhao Feiji.
As soon as Zhao Feiji appeared, he immediately opened his mouth and spewed out a burst of black and red light, which split into eight, wrapping up all the grey-black Yin light.
The grey-white Yin light and the Punishing Evil Divine Light touched and immediately dispersed, turning into strands of Yin Qi, all absorbed by the Punishing Evil Divine Light.
Then, Shen Luo formed a hand seal, and another Pure Yang Sword shot out—it was the Pure Yang Sword with sixty-four prohibitions, striking on another side of the Black Qi Cocoon.
The power of this Pure Yang Sword was astonishing. With a sound akin to ripping silk, the Black Qi Cocoon broke in response.
The Blood Thorn Vine was knocked away, stabbing halfway into the Stone Wall behind it. The vine’s spiritual light dimmed significantly, evidently heavily damaged and needing time to recover.
The Pure Yang Sword inside the Black Qi Cocoon flew out and intertwined with the sixty-four-prohibited Pure Yang Sword, forming a combined swords technique. Its speed increased drastically, disappearing into thin air.
Seeing this, Ghost Vine Master was startled and hastily attempted to move back, but a lightning-like crimson light flashed in front of him. The two Pure Yang Swords appeared out of nowhere, swiftly crossing and slashing, giving him no chance to dodge.
Ghost Vine Master, in desperation, shook the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in his hand, which expanded several times in size like a large shield right in front of him.
Seeing this, Shen Luo, fearing damage to the large banner, quickly reduced most of the power of the dual swords, but they still struck the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
The surface of the banner trembled violently, the gray-white light on it flashing rapidly, managing to withstand the blow from the twin swords without any damage.
Furthermore, a black light flashed on the banner’s surface, revealing a black ghost face pattern, which, like a living creature, opened a Blood Basin, fiercely sucking in.
Suddenly, a whistling sound arose around, and the grey Yin Qi churned like raging waves, forming a huge vortex out of thin air.
The vortex spun rapidly, emitting a strange screeching sound. A black dawn light seeped from deep within, enveloping the two flying swords with a tremendous sucking force.
The two flying swords spun uncontrollably and were pulled towards the depths of the vortex.
Shen Luo’s face showed a hint of surprise, but he remained calm and formed a seal toward the sky.
A piercing sound of sword cries came from above, and a series of Golden Light Swords pierced through the Stone Wall of the cave mansion, striking down on the black vortex from above.
A series of rapid puffs sounded; the black vortex couldn’t withstand the Golden Light Swords and was chopped up instantly, the pitch-black dawn light contracting violently before exploding.
Ghost Vine Master was blown away by the explosion, stumbling back several steps before stabilizing himself, his face wearing a shocked expression as he looked upward.
Through the Stone Wall pierced by those Golden Light Swords, one could faintly see a layer of dazzling golden light flickering above the cave mansion, emitting an intensely sharp Sword Qi.
"Sword Array! Who exactly are you?" Ghost Vine Master’s pupils contracted as he shouted angrily.
"If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, feel free to use them," Shen Luo did not answer Ghost Vine Master’s question, flinging his sleeve.
The two Pure Yang Swords let out a clear whistle, attacking Ghost Vine Master from left and right once again.
Ghost Teng Master’s expression was extremely ugly, he hurriedly moved backward again, waving both sleeves forward.
Dozens of dark shadows flew out from between the sleeves, landing on the ground—they were several corpses refined from humans and beasts. They all had dark and shiny scales on their skins, and their fingers grew curved hook-like sharp claws, gleaming with a cold and chilling light.
The aura of these corpse-refined beings was thick and robust, each possessing the combat power of the Great Mahayana Stage; upon appearing, they immediately split into three groups, two of which rushed towards the two Pure Yang Swords, attempting to grab the flying swords with their bare hands.
"Clang, clang, clang"—a series of loud noises ensued, their limbs were exceptionally sturdy, managing to block the radiance of the Pure Yang Swords.
The last group, which had the most numerous corpses, however, stood still and did not move, remaining alert towards Shen Luo as well as Zhao Feiji.
Yet, Shen Luo and Zhao Feiji stood still and did not make a move.
"So you underestimate me! Very well, since this is the case, let me show you the true power of this Ten Thousand Demons Banner!" Blood rushed to Ghost Teng Master’s cheeks as he formed seals with his hands, which moved like car wheels.
The spirit patterns on the Ten Thousand Demons Banner lit up swiftly, with a strong Yin Qi fluctuation erupting from within the banner, growing stronger and stronger.
Zhao Feiji, feeling this powerful Yin Qi, showed a shocked expression and dared not watch leisurely anymore. He flipped his hand to bring out the Dragon-burying Flute and played it; the sound of a hundred dragons roaring together suddenly resonated, floating towards Ghost Teng Master.
"It’s you! The youth with the surname Shen!" Ghost Teng Master, hearing this tune, immediately recalled who the figure amid the electric arcs was. He quickly covered his ears with his hands and at the same time spewed a mouthful of essence blood, integrating it into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
The spirit patterns on the Ten Thousand Demons Banner lit up suddenly, harsh screams and wails of countless ghosts emitted from within, and an even stronger and colder Yin Qi burst forth suddenly, rushing towards the surroundings like raging waves.
The sound of the Dragon-burying Flute was drowned out by the countless wails of ghosts, and the violent wave of Yin Qi impacted both Shen Luo and Zhao Feiji.
Shen Luo’s body slightly moved but immediately returned to normal, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
It seems this was the true power of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, containing such strong spirit power, far surpassing his Pure Yang Sword with sixty-four prohibitions and that Starry Fan.
Zhao Feiji was also affected by this potent wave of cold Yin Qi, being shaken and retreating repeatedly.
The gray Yin Fog inside the cave mansion intensified, swelling like a tide, and numerous ghosts materialized out of thin air within the Yin Qi, nearly filling the entire secret chamber.
These ghosts varied in kind, the largest being about seventy to eighty Zhang tall, and the smallest only a few meters long, but all were extraordinary in strength, their eyes revealing ferocity as they stared at Shen Luo.
"Do you want to know how many methods I can use? Then Your Excellency, taste the feeling of Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring the Heart!" Ghost Teng Master fully unleashed the power of the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, his fearful expression vanished, and he burst into cold laughter.
Without any visible action, all ghosts rushed towards Shen Luo and Zhao Feiji.
Shen Luo uttered a shout, reaching out with both hands, shooting out streams of golden lightning toward the surrounding ghosts.
Zhao Feiji, on the other hand, showed a pleased expression as he once again spat out the Punishing Evil Divine Light, rolling towards those ghosts.
As Shen Luo’s cultivation deepened, the power of the Wind and Thunder Spirit Patterns in his arms grew, and coupled with Zhao Feiji’s Punishing Evil Divine Light, in the blink of an eye, the two had slain all the ghosts.
"Foolish, knowing that we both possess divine abilities that restrain ghosts and yet using such an attack," Zhao Feiji mocked coldly.
Shen Luo, however, didn’t speak but looked around; the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld distinctly visualized the flow of Yin Qi around him, and those ghosts slain by his lightning power didn’t truly perish but transformed into wisps of Yin Qi, gathering back toward the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.
Within the banner, the Yin Qi surged, containing a vast space densely packed with various kinds of ghosts, truly numbering ten thousand, legitimately qualifying it as the Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
The gathering ghostly Yin Qi in the banner’s space condensed, and one ghost after another gradually took form again.
