The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1600 - 1596: Life in Grave Danger

"Crazy, you’re really crazy!" The Fire Spirit Child said with a shake of his head, feeling helpless at the sight.

Listening to the increasingly chaotic collision sounds behind him, he walked back and sat down cross-legged, beginning to fully control the Gu Xuan star disk to maintain the Array, confining all the flying swords within it.

At this moment, Shen Luo felt as if a volcano was erupting in his Dantian. His veins were like flowing magma, and the extreme pain from the fire poison was continuously eroding his will, causing him to temporarily hold his breathing, so that just a slight drawing of breath could cause intolerable pain.

He had not expected that just one sword refining process could cause such an intense outbreak of fire poison within his body.

However, this was not without warning; after all, the Pure Yang Power in his body was already exceedingly mighty, and now that he had incorporated three Golden Crow Sword Spirits into the Pure Yang Flying Sword, this had pushed the extreme Yang energy to the verge of collapse.

The current Vermilion Bird Stone that is honing the sword is also polishing the Pure Yang Power of the flying sword to an even purer state, shining bright.

This finally broke through the boundary of extreme Yang, causing the fire poison to fully erupt and start to backlash against his physical body.

Shen Luo had already attempted to run the Nameless Cultivation Technique, using the power of water to counteract the fire poison. However, the gap between the two was too great, utterly failing to return him to a balanced state.

But now, seeing that the Vermilion Bird Stone was about to be completely depleted and the sword sharpening soon to finish, Shen Luo truly did not wish to interrupt the process halfway, so he persisted with clenched teeth.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

A series of explosive sounds from the flying swords colliding with the Array continuously sounded, indicating that Shen Luo’s control over the flying swords was getting worse and his consciousness was nearing the brink of collapse.

Seeing this, the Fire Spirit Child sighed, raised his hand, and injected more mana into the Gu Xuan star disk.

With a wave of his hand through the void, the golden Defensive Formation began to contract with his movements, narrowing the range of activity for the flying swords, which allowed them to collide with the Vermilion Bird Stone even more and speed up the sword honing process.

Time ticked away slowly; what was only a period enough for a cup of tea felt to the Fire Spirit Child as long as a year.

Finally, a sharp "clang" sound rang out.

All flying swords burst forth with sword light, having finished honing with the last bit of Vermilion Bird Stone, they shot out towards the exterior of the Array.

A loud "boom" of explosion echoed.

The golden Defensive Formation released by the Gu Xuan star disk was unable to withstand the formidable force of the flying swords at this moment and was pierced through by one.

The Defensive Formation shattered with a bang, and the Fire Spirit Child, experiencing backlash, let out a muffled groan and collapsed.

The Gu Xuan star disk hanging in midair also fell down along with it.

The Fire Spirit Child had no time to check the state of the Gu Xuan star disk, struggling to get up and rushing to Shen Luo’s side.

He raised his hand just about to touch Shen Luo, but was instantly retracted from the scorching temperature radiating from Shen Luo’s body, feeling extreme shock inside.

"With this temperature, is he going to burst into flames?"

However, Shen Luo showed no response to his shouts, appearing to have fallen into unconsciousness.

At this time, the sixteen flying swords that were proudly circling in the void also returned one by one, converging by Shen Luo’s side.

As soon as they drew near, the temperature around Shen Luo surged once again, and his clothes actually began to ignite.

Seeing this, the Fire Spirit Child was at a loss for a moment, unsure of what to do.

In his panic, he suddenly rolled over, scrambling to pick up the Gu Xuan star disk from the ground, hastily wiping the dust off of it, before his right hand formed a magic spell to start activating it.

With his movements, the Gu Xuan star disk leisurely fluttered into the air, hovering above Shen Luo’s head.

Immediately after, he parted his hands, orchestrating in the void, and light began to shine upon the star disk, bringing down a cerulean Array from the sky that transformed into a layer of blue Water Curtain, caging him within.

In the central position of the Array, Shen Luo immediately felt waves of coolness assailing him, and his body began to emit white steam with a "sizzling" sound for quite some time before he finally came to his senses again.

He glanced at the Fire Spirit Child who was still fully occupied with maintaining the Great Formation, and a sense of gratitude involuntarily rose in his heart. Noticing that all the Flying Swords were still suspended outside, he did not retract them, instead ordering them all to stay far from him, situated beside the entrance of the Cave Mansion.

"Fire Daoist friend, thank you very much." Shen Luo said to the Fire Spirit Child.

"Thanks for nothing! This Heavenly Water Formation is the highest tier of the Water Techniques in the Gu Xuan star disk, yet it can’t suppress your fire poison at all. Do you, lad, have any other way to save yourself? If not, you’d better hurry up and utter your last words," rebuked the Fire Spirit Child.

In the midst of speaking, the corners of his mouth also began to bleed, evidently also suffering from serious injuries.

Upon seeing this, Shen Luo lifted his trembling arm, and light shone from the palm holding the Free and Easy Mirror, opening a Light Door.

Nie Caizhu was still unaware of what had happened, and her first glance was met with the entirely scorched and naked Shen Luo, precipitating her to hurriedly turn away. However, she quickly realized that something was amiss with Shen Luo’s Breath and immediately turned back.

Disregarding the differences between men and women, she stepped through the Light Door and asked anxiously, "What’s going on?"

"He’s suffering from a backlash of fire poison, his life is in peril," the Fire Spirit Child spoke succinctly, stating immediately.

Upon hearing this, a flash of panic flickered through Nie Caizhu’s eyes, which quickly returned to calm, but worry remained evident between her eyebrows. freёweɓnovel.com

She reached out to touch Shen Luo’s arm and was instantly scalded by the intense heat, yet she endured the pain, her delicate brows slightly furrowing without a sound.

"Fire Daoist friend, you’re also badly injured. Go back into the Carefree Mirror to heal. Leave this to me," Nie Caizhu turned to the Fire Spirit Child and spoke.

"But he..." The Fire Spirit Child was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Don’t worry, as long as I am here, I won’t let anything happen to him," Nie Caizhu said with resolute conviction.

"Alright then, I’ll leave it in your hands." Seeing her determined expression, the Fire Spirit Child could only nod in agreement, packing up the Gu Xuan star disk and turning back into the Carefree Mirror.

As the white Light Door closed, Nie Caizhu’s gaze returned to Shen Luo once more.

With the suppression of the Heavenly Water Formation no longer in effect, the fire poison in Shen Luo erupted once again, and he instantly lost consciousness anew.

His Mana was no longer capable of stopping the spread and outbreak of the fire poison, as the scorching power within him desired to erupt. Not only was his skin crimson red, but his body’s surface had also begun to resemble parched Earth, manifesting cracks all over.

Nie Caizhu, visibly distressed by what she saw, quickly knelt by his side, placing both hands on his lower abdomen. A chilling energy seeped from her palms, directly pouring into Shen Luo’s body.

"Ssssss..."

Streams of white vapor continuously emerged beneath her palms, and only then did Shen Luo’s body temperature slightly decrease.

However, this method was clearly only a temporary solution and not a real cure. The stimulation made the fire poison in Shen Luo’s Dantian even more ferocious.

Shen Luo, lost in unconsciousness, couldn’t help but let out bouts of agonized groans.

Nie Caizhu watched with a dazed gaze as Shen Luo’s face contorted in pain, her eyes flashing with an indecisive hesitation that was hard to resolve.

"What to do? I can’t just watch my Cousin die like this. The only possible way to save him... might be that one method. I..." Nie Caizhu murmured to herself, her lips quivering.
