The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1573 - 1569: Soul Dying Pillar

Peach Scent and the others grew increasingly anxious as Ghost Teng Master remained silent. Just as they were about to urge him on, they heard him speak again:

"Fellow Cultivators, every time a Golden Silkworm Gu is slain, the remaining ones not only change their flight trajectory but their speed significantly increases as well. We must have five people strike simultaneously, slaying all the Golden Silkworm Gu at once," Shen Luo, controlling the Ghost Teng Master, told everyone.

"Slay them all at once? How could that be possible? Even you, it’s not possible to issue five commands in an instant, how could we possibly slay all the Golden Silkworm Gu simultaneously?" Liu Hong exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing this.

"Liu Hong, Daoist friend, don’t worry about it. All you need to do is to follow my commands, reach the designated locations beforehand, and when you hear the attack command, strike with all your might at the same time, remember, no holding back," Ghost Teng Master spoke up.

Everyone heard him speak with confidence, yet they still harbored some doubts.

Shen Luo paid them no heed, continuing to control Ghost Teng Master, and started instructing everyone to their respective positions:

"Liu Hong, Daoist friend, go straight west and move forward ten steps. Li Biao, Daoist friend, head to the northwest side, three Zhang away from Liu Hong, facing southwest. Friend Peach Scent, please move five steps towards the southeast direction, facing south. Friend Yan Lie..."

Shen Luo arranged positions one by one, finally, only Tian Sanqi was left unassigned.

"Why have you sent everyone away and left me behind?" Tian Sanqi felt isolated and couldn’t help but ask.

"Fellow Tian’s role is also crucial, to protect the others from other Gu poisons attacking them," Ghost Teng Master replied.

After a slight hesitation, Tian Sanqi decided to comply with Ghost Teng Master’s arrangement.

Once everyone was in position, all were fully focused, awaiting the command from Ghost Teng Master.

"When you hear the word ’attack’ later, don’t hesitate; directly target the space three inches in front of you. Understood?" Shen Luo issued the command.

"Okay," Everyone responded in unison, clutching their Magical Treasures, waiting for the order.

Shen Luo’s gaze moved swiftly, confirming the position of each Golden Silkworm Gu.

A moment later, his eyes sharply focussed, and he shouted loudly: "Attack!"

Those who had been stiff with anticipation immediately sprang into action, calling upon their mystic arts and Magical Treasures, setting off a simultaneous explosion of booming sounds.

The five Golden Silkworm Gu burst at the same time, turning into five streams of golden mist drifting away.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed.

Inside the Carefree Mirror, Shen Luo also let out a huge sigh of relief, as just now, trying to clearly discern the flight trajectory of the Golden Silkworm Gu, especially to find the moment they all reached their designated positions simultaneously, had exhausted nearly half of his Soul Power.

Fortunately, hard work pays off for those who are diligent; under his command, everyone worked together to eliminate all the Golden Silkworm Gu.

However, before they could even comprehend what had happened, the Golden-tailed Pythons and the Dark Green Poisonous Spiders around them began to collapse to the ground, dying on their own without their intervention.

"Is this... has someone broken the Soul Dying Pillar?" Peach Scent asked in astonishment.

"No," Everyone shouted in response.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the bodies of those Golden-tailed Pythons and Dark Green Poisonous Spiders began to rapidly decay and disintegrate, while the Gu Poison inside their bodies started to escape, instantly filling the entire great hall.

Shen Luo immediately understood what was happening and hastily waved his hand, recalling the remaining ghosts and refined corpses back into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner.

"Ghost Vine Fellow Daoist, what is this...?" Everyone subconsciously turned to Ghost Teng Master for answers.

"This is the last counterattack of these Gu poisons. Everyone, quickly cover your mouth and nose and protect yourselves. Only by breaking the Soul Dying Pillar immediately can we have a chance to survive," Shen Luo, controlling the Ghost Teng Master, shouted loudly.

After the Golden Silkworm Gu was completely eradicated, while the Gu poison in its body had not fully dissipated, the snake and spider Gu began to commit suicide to release their own Gu poison and mix it with the Golden Silkworm Gu.

The toxicity of the two combined Gu poisons, although not as intense as inside the human body, was still a hundred times more powerful than when separate, and it was uncertain if anyone could endure it even with protective methods.

Whether or not they could find the Soul Dying Pillar had become the key to their success in surviving.

As soon as Ghost Teng Master finished speaking, everyone dared not be careless and hastily deployed secret techniques to protect themselves while also actively searching for the Soul Dying Pillar around them.

At this moment, the Gu poison scattered around suddenly began to move, and from its originally dispersed state, it started to converge forwards. The rolling black mist kept gathering, and its color began to change, gradually turning dark red.

The dark red poison mist condensed into a mass, shrinking to nearly half its initial size, but it still covered a considerable space. As time passed, it suddenly began expanding again.

"Ghost Vine, didn’t you say that killing the Golden Silkworm Gu would solve the problem? What is happening now?" Tian Sanqi angrily questioned.

"Cut the nonsense. If the two types of Gu poison merged inside your body, would you still have a chance to yell here?" Shen Luo, also somewhat angry, controlled the Ghost Teng Master and retorted.

"So what do we do now?" Wanshui Zhenren asked anxiously.

Yan Lie, seeing the poison mist approaching, couldn’t hold back and swung his Dustless Fan.

With a whoosh, a violent wind exploded.

The poison mist in the center was ripped open by the fierce wind, but the mist on both sides rushed towards everyone with even greater ferocity, quickly reaching Liu Hong.

He originally had a Body Protection Talisman attached to his body, and was protected by a green spiritual light outside his body, but the moment it touched the poison mist, the green light sizzled and emitted plumes of white smoke.

The talisman on his chest also caught fire and self-immolated, instantly turning to ashes.

On another side, Wanshui Zhenren formed a Water Repelling Technique, his body enveloped in a blue water curtain, which also dissolved upon contact with the Gu poison, corroding away instantly.

The combined power of the Gu poison was far beyond anyone’s imagination.

"Stop dawdling, hurry and find the Soul Dying Pillar, or we’re all done for," Tian Sanqi shouted angrily.

Everyone was forced to retreat while carefully scanning the surroundings with their Divine Sense, but in such a hurry, no one could concentrate properly.

Inside the sleeve of the Ghost Teng Master, Shen Luo in the Free and Easy Mirror hesitated whether to use the Spirit Eye Divine Ability. Meanwhile, others seemed to have made a discovery.

"Over there," Li Biao suddenly pointed into the depths of the poison mist and shouted.

The others quickly looked in that direction, but they could only see surging poison mist and no sight of any Soul Dying Pillar.

"What did you see? Don’t give random orders. Right now, time is critical, and your misleading can cost everyone’s lives," Tian Sanqi reprimanded.

"Bullshit, I really saw it. Just now, the mist momentarily cleared there, and there really was a black pillar inside, similar to the previous Soul Birth Pillar," Li Biao, now furious, retorted.
