The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1083: The Demon Clan That Doesn't Resemble the Demon Clan Chapter 1086: Chapter 1083: The Demon Clan That Doesn't Resemble the Demon Clan At the bottom of the valley, a sudden blaze erupted on both sides, and a pair of earth-shattering booms rose from deep underground. The mountain peaks around the valley shook violently, and it seemed as if the bases had been blown apart.

“Rumble rumble”

For a time, the booms kept sounding, and huge cracks spread across the mountain peaks, leading to a collapse.

Shen Luo gazed at the remnants of the array that had yet to fade beneath the earth and immediately realized that it was Li Zhu's doing; a thick intent to kill emerged deep in his eyes at once.

Seeing the mountain walls on both sides topple toward the center of the valley, with countless gigantic rocks constantly breaking off, they were engulfed in billowing dust like a flood, burying everything inside the valley.

Below the torrent, Fu Donglai was still holding his ground against the Demon Void Earth Dragon with his own strength, utterly unable to extricate himself.

Shen Luo looked at Li Changqing beside him, could only grit his teeth, and led him to escape from the valley first.

The moment the two reached the outside of the valley, the peaks next to it had completely collapsed. The boulders that rolled down had utterly buried the valley, and clouds of dust billowed out, forming a wall of dust and wind that swept over the landscape.

“Elder Fu…” Li Changqing stared speechlessly at the filled valley.

“You should leave this place first. Before the Secret Realm Gate reopens, do not show yourself,” Shen Luo said, frowning and instructing.

Li Changqing knew he could not be of any help and would only be a drag, so he nodded in agreement at once.

Without giving him another look, Shen Luo flew back towards the direction of the valley, a lone figure crashing into the torrent of dust.

However, he had barely entered the range of the dust cloud when suddenly an earth-shattering roar erupted from within the ruins of the valley. A massive vortex rose abruptly from deep within the dust, sweeping all around it.

Violent hurricanes raged and annihilated under their force, causing the dust to spread in all directions, and countless rocks were hurled out, sweeping in eight directions.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Shen Luo did not continue to charge in but instead rode the wind to retreat from it.

After he flew out dozens of miles, the vortex finally swelled to its peak and exploded with a loud bang.

The ferocious hurricanes swept across all directions, flattening everything nearby.

It was only after a long time that the tumult in the void gradually subsided, revealing a towering black shadow standing on what had become a plain.

“Ao…”

The Demon Void Earth Dragon roared heavenward, clearly enraged.

“Evil Beast, your time to die has come.” Just as the Earth Dragon's roar was dying down, a delicate scold rang out.

Then Shen Luo saw, high above the sky, a rainbow mist stretched across the high altitude, and seven ethereal maidens in colorful garments descended slowly from the mist, their robes fluttering, emanating an enchanting aura.

Some of the maidens held pipas aloft, some carried baskets of flowers, some strummed on strings, some played the zither gently…

Immediately, celestial music spread from around them.

When Shen Luo first heard it, he found it utterly beautiful, but moments later, his head felt as if it was being pricked with needles, causing intense pain.

The Demon Void Earth Dragon encircled by the seven maidens felt even worse; its massive body leapt up, directly rising into the high altitude, writhing and twisting, with its long tail sweeping across.

The void stirred up intense ripples as the Earth Dragon's tail struck one of the maidens.

But then, a shocking scene unfolded.

The maiden's body rippled like water, her body twisting violently as it was hit with the dragon's tail, and it actually snapped in two at the waist.

Subsequently, the other six maidens were similarly struck by the tail, each one splitting in half.

But when the Demon Void Earth Dragon's tail retracted, the six maidens' forms also mysteriously reverted to normal, though the music they played on their strings and pipas suddenly changed.

The originally gentle plucking of minor chords suddenly transformed into a fierce barrage akin to a torrential downpour, turning the celestial music into a deathly dirge for lost souls.

In a flash, streams of semi-transparent Light Marks appeared amidst the dust and smoke, like thousands of sharp blades, fracturing that expanse of space into fragmented chaos.

The Demon Void Earth Dragon's body gushed blood, its exterior – harder than rock – now marred with countless gashes.

Shen Luo watched from a distance, knowing that such scratches were ultimately too superficial. For a colossal creature like the Demon Void Earth Dragon, they were akin to mere tickling, unable to inflict serious damage.

As expected, far from diminishing in ferocity, the Demon Void Earth Dragon became even more violent.

Its maw opened wide, a purple halo continuously condensed in the depths of its throat, wrapped in strands of demonic mist, within which lurked purple lightning crackling and snapping.

“Roar”

With a frantic roar, the Demon Void Earth Dragon spewed forth a mass of purple mist from its mouth. The lightning-laced mist traced a bright streak across the Void, instantly piercing through a fairy clutching a Pipa and shooting towards the emptiness hundreds of feet away.

That area of emptiness seemed void of anything, but as the purple light approached, ripples surfaced, revealing the figure of Ji Yao, her hands in a delicate gesture as if picking flowers, forming and pushing out a magical seal.

A colorful Scroll instantly appeared before her, adorned with lavish, blooming flowers bursting with reds and purples in their prime.

Countless blossoms reached out from the Scroll, their stems and branches stretching forth to meet the purple light.

A resounding boom echoed.

The purple lightning scattered, a shower of flowers blooming amidst it, with rolling demonic mist spreading out, quickly engulfing both the shower of petals and the Scroll.

Soon, the Hundred Flowers Scroll was tainted by the demonic mist, showing mottled signs of damage.

Seeing this, Ji Yao did not hesitate, severing her connection with the Scroll and retreating.

But the enraged Demon Void Earth Dragon was not about to let up, continuously spewing demonic mist and purple light from its mouth toward Ji Yao.

Seeing this, Shen Luo immediately performed the Earth Escaping Technique, sinking into the Earth, weaving through the collapsing valley below.

He believed that, with Fu Donglai's cultivation level, he wouldn't have died so easily.

Below the Earth were crevices formed by large rocks, through which Shen Luo traveled until he delved nearly a hundred feet deep, spotting the blood-covered Fu Donglai wedged between two giant boulders.

Half of his body was crushed under a giant stone, his eyes tightly shut, motionless, and seemingly knocked out cold.

Shen Luo quickly approached him, tapped him lightly on the shoulder twice, and upon getting no response, channeled mana into his body.

“Huff…”

Stimulated by the incoming mana, Fu Donglai soon took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Shen Luo, his blood-smattered face immediately broke into a smile, and in the dim light, his tiger-like eyes gleamed.

“Elder Brother Fu, are you alright?” Shen Luo asked.

“I'm fine. When the mountain collapsed earlier, I resisted the rocks and got hit by that Demon Void Earth Dragon's purple light. My mana was disrupted for a moment, and I was knocked unconscious. How is Daoist friend Li doing?” Fu Donglai shook his head and said.

Relieved to see him unharmed, Shen Luo then heard him ask about Li Changqing, which stirred some emotions within.

Fu Donglai, with his strength alone, was slowly changing Shen Luo's perception of the Demon Clan people.

Involuntarily, his mind wandered back to what Hua Ming said about Fu Donglai:

A guy who makes you overlook his appearance and inadvertently forget that he's from the Demon Clan.
