The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1578 - 1574: Devouring Soul

"Regarding this matter, Fellow Cultivators need not worry. I have the battle formation map of this Array. We only need nine True Immortal Cultivators to enter the Array Picture and channel their Mana into it to activate the Array’s operation and unleash the Annihilation Vajra Array," said Yan Lie as he waved his sleeve.

A golden Array Picture appeared around them, spreading rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded to over a hundred Zhang, with nine glowing points on it, each revealing the virtual shadow of a Vajra, and the sounds of Buddhist Chant echoed within the Illusionary Domain, pushing the surrounding White Fog far back.

"There are nine True Immortals required, and we only have seven people here," said Tao Xiang with a frown.

"I have two Vajra puppets at the True Immortal Stage that can replace True Immortal Cultivators in casting spells," Yan Lie waved his hand, and two streaks of golden light flew out, landing in two of the golden light points on the Array Picture, revealing two Buddhist Vajras holding magical instruments.

The two Vajra puppets looked almost indistinguishable from living people, with angry eyes and circles of strong golden Buddha’s Light radiating around them.

Seeing this, Tao Xiang and the others hesitated slightly before also entering a cluster of golden light within the Array Picture.

They were now trapped in an Illusion Domain, with no idea when Wu Luo would attack, so they had to break through the formation as quickly as possible.

Shen Luo did not hesitate either, and controlled Ghost Teng Master to also enter a cluster of golden light.

Upon entering the golden light, a powerful force from the Buddhist Sect enveloped Ghost Teng Master, causing its Divine soul, which had already perished, to feel discomfort.

Fortunately, this force from the Buddhist Sect did not invade it, and it was still bearable. He controlled Ghost Teng Master to run the Heavenly Corpse Scripture, causing a cool sensation to rise in his mind.

"Fellow Cultivators, just channel your Mana into the Array Picture. I will control the changes in the Array," said Yan Lie as he landed in a golden light at the Central position, taking out a golden Round Pearl and quickly activating it with hand seals.

"A Relic?" Shen Luo immediately recognized the golden Round Pearl; he also had a Dingyuan Relic on him.

The Annihilation Vajra Array Picture burst forth with a sky-high golden brilliance, and the sound of chanting from the Void resonated tenfold louder, with countless Golden Runes dancing within the golden light, dispersing all the White Fog around them.

Beneath the feet of Ghost Teng Master and the other nine, a flash of golden light revealed a Golden Lotus Platform, covered in Buddhist esoteric symbols.

Each of them channeled their Mana and poured it into the Lotus platform, causing the Array Picture to begin rumbling and rotating.

"Mahasattva, Vajra’s furious gaze, Silent Buddha Fire, refining the multitude of demons!" Yan Lie fully activated the Relic in front of him, loudly reciting the mantra.

The Array Picture immediately began to operate fully, all the golden light flowing like water towards the Central part of the Great Formation, and in a few breaths, a Vajra Manifestation towering several dozens Zhang high, with three heads and six arms, appeared.

Yan Lie threw the golden Relic in his hand out, and in a flash, it disappeared into the brow of the Vajra Manifestation, startlingly becoming embedded there.

The golden Relic suddenly shone brilliantly, turning into a huge vertical Golden Eye, from which a great expanse of golden flames shot out, sweeping across the Illusionary space around it.

Boom! Rumble! Rumble!

The space of the Illusion Domain shook violently, with large swaths of White Fog being burned away, emitting a loud hissing noise, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

"Indeed effective! Fellow Cultivators, increase your Mana output!" Yan Lie said joyfully upon seeing this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo and the others infused more Mana, and the fire from the Vajra Manifestation’s vertical eye intensified, continuing to burn the Illusionary space surrounding them.

Waves of illusory power were being burnt by the Annihilation Vajra Array, quickly dissipated.

"Young Master Shen, I remember you have a Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman on you, with not much illusory power left in it. Now is a rare opportunity, you can absorb the surrounding illusory power to replenish the Talisman’s might," Fire Spirit Child reminded.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo immediately took out the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman and handed it to Ghost Teng Master.

Ghost Teng Master activated the Talisman, and the surrounding dissipating illusory power immediately began to converge towards it.

Tian Sanqi, sensing the abnormal flow of illusion power nearby, showed a look of surprise on his face, briefly gave Ghost Teng Master a deep look, then looked away without saying anything.

As time went by, the illusionary space around them quickly thinned, vaguely revealing the mausoleum outside.

"The illusionary space has revealed its flaws, everyone attack together, shatter the illusionary Array!" Yan Lie shouted loudly, continuing to operate the Silent Buddha Fire to burn the illusionary space, at the same time summoning a red small tower.

With a whirl, the tower expanded in the wind, transforming into a huge nine-story pagoda wrapped in searing white flames, which crashed like falling meteors onto the weak spot of the illusionary space.

Tao Xiang also waved her hand, summoning the Gu Xuan star disk, from which a great expanse of starlight burst forth, solidifying into a column of starlight and also striking the same spot.

Muttering incantations, Tian Sanqi conjured a dark red war drum above his head. With a boom, numerous red sound waves vibrated from the drum, hitting the same area.

Wanshui Zhenren, Liu Hong, and Li Biao also each brought out their magical treasures and delivered their most powerful strikes.

Ghost Teng Master uttered a low shout, and with a grab through the void, a fluctuation above the piece of illusionary space occurred, and a yellow palm as large as an acre appeared out of nowhere, wrapped in a dense Corpse Air, brutally grabbing down. It was the Heavenly Corpse Divine Palm, an ultimate technique from the Heavenly Corpse Scripture.

Worried about insufficient power, Shen Luo let the Sky Fiend Corpse King channel some of its strength into Ghost Teng Master’s body. The might of the Heavenly Corpse Divine Palm surged instantly, overshadowing the attacks of the others and grasping down fiercely.

Yan Lie and the others showed looks of astonishment. The current Ghost Teng Master seemed different from before, having played crucial roles continuously before, and now unleashing such a powerful attack.

A series of thunderous roars erupted, and the illusionary space immediately collapsed.

The scene changed for everyone, and they found themselves back inside Houyi’s Tomb.

The situation inside Houyi’s Tomb had changed dramatically; countless white spider silks appeared, covering nearly the entire Hall. In the center of the Hall, a huge spider web sprawled across half of the mausoleum.

There were also three enormous white cocoon-like objects on the web, trembling occasionally, and from within came rumbling explosion sounds, as though something was trapped inside.

Apart from these, there was nothing else in the mausoleum.

"What are these spider silks? Where is Wu Luo? And where have the six great monster souls disappeared to?" Yan Lie’s gaze swept around, and he said solemnly.

While speaking, he spread out his divine sense towards the three cocoons on the spider web, but as his divine sense touched the spider web, an illusionary force invaded.

This illusionary force was extremely powerful and concentrated, utterly different from the scattered illusionary force encountered previously in the illusionary space, breaking through the defense of the Annihilation Vajra Array and invading his mind instantly.

Yan Lie’s soul power surged tumultuously; he quickly ran his secret soul technique with full strength while also operating the Annihilation Vajra Array to just barely fend off that illusionary force.

The others experienced the same situation when they extended their divine senses.

Seeing what happened to them, Shen Luo did not spread his divine sense but instead used his Ghost Eye of the Netherworld to look around.

"Fellow Cultivators, the three monster souls are in those cocoons, a surge of demonic Qi is devouring them, most likely that is Wu Luo. The other three great monster souls have probably already been devoured by it! This is a matter of life and death; we cannot let it succeed!" He made Ghost Teng Master shout out, then without waiting for others to react, he urged the Heavenly Corpse Divine Palm to strike one of the white cocoons.

In the center of the yellow palm, a faint layer of red flames appeared, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the nemesis of undead ghost creatures.

A roar of fury came from the white cocoon, and a thick black light pillar shot out from within, colliding with the yellow palm.

However, a flash of golden light skimmed the edge of the yellow palm, and a golden sword light streaked out, slashing across dozens of feet in a flash and striking another cocoon, executing a deceptive move.

The sound of fabric tearing rang out.

The white cocoon was slashed open with a large cut, thick Black Qi billowed out from it, and a dark snake head emerged, one of the heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent, struggling to burrow out.
