The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1569 - 1565: Yin Yang Umbrella
Chapter 1569: Chapter 1565: Yin Yang Umbrella
Shen Luo approached Ghost Vine Master, raised his hand with a sword, and split open the white umbrella enveloping his head, then again sent a thread of his divine soul into Ghost Vine Master’s Sea of knowledge using a secret technique.
Ghost Vine Master slowly opened his eyes and exchanged a smile with Shen Luo.
Then, the gate to the Carefree Mirror Space opened once again. After taking a look around, Shen Luo stepped into it.
His divided soul regained control of Ghost Vine Master’s body but did not attack those white umbrellas to release the others from control; instead, he looked up at the beam above his head.
With a fierce wave of his hand, a streak of Blood Light burst forth from the center of his palm, and a section of Blood Thorn Vines instantly flew high into the air, striking the beam squarely.
A "crack" sound of fracturing echoed.
The beam broke upon impact and fell from high altitude.
Mid air, the illusion confounding the beam dispersed, revealing the pitch-black Soul Birth Pillar’s true form, which crashed heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Almost simultaneously, the entire hall shook violently, and an invisible breath spread from the Soul Birth Pillar, followed by a strong force of prohibition rising from the Underworld.
"As expected, it is the Soul Birth Pillar," Shen Luo thought to himself with joy.
At this moment, a series of shouts and exclamations rang out around him, followed by a barrage of mystic arts and God’s Power bombarding from all directions, causing the entire hall to quake immensely.
Ghost Vine Master hurriedly dodged and turned to look, only to discover that the white oil-paper umbrellas that had been hovering above everyone’s heads had fallen to the ground, and they had all awakened.
However, those who had suddenly come to had not yet cleared the influence of the Illusion Domain, so they couldn’t help but release their mystic arts.
"Gentlemen, regain your senses," after a short pause, Ghost Vine Master roared.
Everyone then snapped out of it, and each looked around with complex expressions, slowly coming to their senses after a long while.
"What has happened?" Tao Xiang exclaimed in surprise.
"Fellow Daoists, just now you were inadvertently controlled by these white umbrellas, falling into an illusion without realizing it. Fortunately, I have a secret soul protective technique that prevented complete control and allowed me to barely escape and shatter the Soul Birth Pillar," Ghost Vine Master explained to everyone.
Upon hearing this and seeing the broken black and white umbrellas scattered on the Ground, the crowd had no choice but to believe him.
"Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist’s cultivation in Soul Power has actually reached such an extent? Perhaps you are not aware of the terrifying aspects of these Yang Umbrellas and Yin Umbrellas. One can capture Souls, and the other can seize Souls. Once controlled by the Yang Umbrella, or these white umbrellas, one will fall into an illusory domain, and Soul Power will be unknowingly drained. When the divine soul is dissipated, the black umbrella will shatter the physical body and completely strip the Souls. This time, Ghost Vine Daoist has truly saved everyone’s life," Wanshui Zhenren could not help but speak out.
After hearing these words, everyone realized just how dangerous the situation had been and was immensely relieved.
"Thank you, Ghost Vine Daoist Friend," said Tao Xiang, bowing.
The rest of the people also expressed their gratitude in turn.
Tian Sanqi, although still skeptical, had to admit that the Ghost Vine Master genuinely saved him.
After all, having the ability to protect himself, he could have deliberately delayed to wait until they suffered some damage to their divine souls before coming to rescue, which would have been most advantageous for him.
In fact, Shen Luo did consider this, but when he thought about the upcoming challenge of the Soul Dying Gate, and if he were to face it with a group of individuals whose divine souls were damaged, unforeseeable accidents might occur, so he quickly abandoned the thought.
"Fellow Daoists need not be so formal, since we are companions on this journey, it is natural that we support each other; otherwise, on my own, I would not be able to pass the tests, let alone obtain Hou Yi’s Legacy," Shen Luo waved his hand and said.
At least before seeing the Treasure, these people should primarily cooperate.
"Ghost Vine Daoist Friend is truly noble," Yan Lie praised.
"Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist, you said you’ve already shattered the Soul Birth Pillar, may I ask where it is?" Tian Sanqi asked.
"That should be the Soul Birth Pillar. After shattering it just now, all of you were able to escape the trap," Shen Luo pointed to the broken black stone pillar on the ground and said.
Only then did everyone notice that amidst several ruined black umbrellas, there was a pile of shattered black stone.
After studying it for a while, they discovered that many golden round pearls were embedded in the black stone, interconnected with each other, forming an extremely intricate array.
However, with the fracturing of the stone pillar, the array was naturally destroyed as well, and its original appearance could no longer be discerned.
Everyone speculated that the poisonous insects, poison scorpios, and the like they encountered earlier were mostly caused by this array.
"Now that the Soul Birth Pillar has been dispelled, let’s go find the Soul Dying Gate and quickly break the Soul Dying Pillar," Li Biao shouted.
A group of people immediately dispersed to search for the entrance to the Soul Dying Gate in the great hall.
However, after searching for a long time, they all came up empty-handed.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Luo looked up again towards the rooftop hiding the Soul Birth Pillar, only to see that where the Soul Birth Pillar had been shattered, an octagonal mirror was revealed, its surface pitch black and not easy to see.
With a thought, he immediately raised his hand and swung it, sending out a beam of black light from the center of his palm, striking the mirror above.
With a "hum" sound, a light resonance was heard.
The mirror on the rooftop, hit by this surge of mana, immediately burst forth with dazzling luminance.
The angle of the mirror was inclined, and the reflected light shone on the door of the great hall, instantly forming a white whirlpool of light.
"It’s the exit," Liu Hong exclaimed with joy.
"Is it actually on the Big Gate we came in through?" Wanshui Zhenren couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
"Let’s go, the next challenge is still waiting for us," Yan Lie said.
Having said that, he took a big step and was the first to step through the light vortex, vanishing from everyone’s sight.
The rest of them quickly followed suit, one after another stepping in.
This time, Shen Luo was the last one; before stepping into the vortex, his gaze again fell on the shattered Soul Birth Pillar, suddenly feeling a burst of inexplicable palpitations, as if a wave of anger was surging directly towards him.
But it was only for an instant; the emotion disappeared without a trace. freewёbnoνel.com
Seeing the white whirlpool about to vanish, Shen Luo also stepped forward, entering within.
A bright white light appeared before his eyes, and then gradually returned to normal; Shen Luo had arrived in a whole new space.
"Be careful." Before he could even react, he heard a loud shout.
Shen Luo subconsciously dodged backwards. By the time his vision fully recovered, he saw a giant golden tail sweeping past in front of him, its tip shining with a metallic gloss, almost like the edge of a blade.
As his mind steadied, he then saw that in front of him were seven or eight hundred-feet-long golden-tailed pythons, fiercely battling with the people who had entered before him.
These golden-tailed pythons had bone horns on their heads, black patterns around their necks, and their tails were completely golden. Not only were they huge in size, but their speed was also incredibly fast.
Different from when they entered the Soul Birth Gate, the moment everyone stepped into the Soul Dying Gate, they hadn’t even had time to react before immediately being ambushed by these creatures, all caught off guard.
