The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1375: Beast Fight Chapter 1379: Chapter 1375: Beast Fight The Red Flame Beast crouched motionless, its pointed horn trembling with light, a sign of its probing divine ability, which, in the fiery environment, allowed it to easily sense Shen Luo's whereabouts.

The next moment, it discovered that Shen Luo's figure was hidden in the surrounding mist, having transformed into a new stealth state and was rapidly approaching from another direction.

“Heh heh, it seems that this person is skilled in invisibility, mastering several stealth divine abilities, but unfortunately, he met me. Our Red Flame Beast clan is most adept at perception!” The Red Flame Beast secretly sneered in its heart, but pretended to be oblivious and looked around.

When Shen Luo approached within ten feet of it, the Red Flame Beast suddenly turned its head and spat out.

A thin, sharp red shadow shot out from its mouth, piercing Shen Luo's body like lightning. It was the Red Flame Beast's red tongue, tipped with faint flames, damaging Shen Luo's body as it burrowed deep into the nearby mountain wall, like an invincible flying sword.

Inside the White Fog, Shen Luo's figure emerged, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as his body suddenly “bang” burst open, turning into a thick blue mist.

“What!” The Red Flame Beast was startled and immediately tried to retract its tongue.

But the blue mist that Shen Luo had turned into enveloped the red tongue, and an intense chill surged forth.

With a light “crack,” the Red Flame Beast's tongue was frozen into a blue ice crystal, its flesh and blood crystallized by the chill, utterly necrotized.

The inside of the Red Flame Beast's mouth was also injured by the cold, causing a major alarm. Its body emitted a bright fiery light in an attempt to resist the invasion of the chill.

However, next to it, the void fluctuated, and a blue flying sword appeared out of thin air, emitting a ten zhang long sapphire Sword Qi, wrapped in bone-chilling cold, and quickly enveloped the Red Flame Beast's body.

The Red Flame Beast, still countering the cold of the Indigo Ocean, did not anticipate danger from the side. Unable to evade in time, it was slashed in two with a hiss.

To its horror and fury, the two halves of its body exploded apart, turning into two sparkling flames that merged into the void, escaping the second strike of the blue flying sword.

The next moment, two flames appeared out of nowhere a hundred feet away. They instantly combined into one and reformed the Red Flame Beast's body, yet the aura it emitted was significantly weaker.

“The Art of Fire Escape!” Shen Luo quietly floated in the adjacent void, raising his eyebrow as he murmured to himself.

His Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing was aglow with blue light, pushing his stealth technique to the maximum and just barely eluding the perception of the Red Flame Beast. As for the Shen Luo that the Red Flame Beast's tongue had impaled just now, it was a doppelganger he had formed with the Nameless Cultivation Technique and the addition of the Water Soul Technique.

The strength of this Red Flame Beast was beyond his expectations, and it had the advantage of the terrain. Having just entered the Zhurong Basin, he did not want to exhibit his real strength, and it had taken considerable effort to land a single hit.

Having finally gained the upper hand, Shen Luo naturally would not relax; his hands kept forming seals.

The blue flying sword hissed loudly as countless blue sword shadows erupted from it, forming a mountain of swords that pressed down toward the opponent. Each sword shadow emitted a terrifying chill, the cold of the Indigo Ocean.

This sword was named “Water Cloud Sword,” found amongst the Storage Magical Tools of a True Immortal of the Demon Clan from Lion Camel Ridge. It was a mid-grade Water Attribute Treasure with considerable power, and could be used in conjunction with the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique, which was why he had taken it out to face the enemy.

“Insolent thief, don't be arrogant!” The Red Flame Beast opened its mouth and spit out a ribbon-like golden light, which transformed into a series of crimson spherical flames. Upon contact with the blue sword shadows, thunderous explosions ensued, the resulting sonic waves strong enough to collapse a house.

The Blue Sword Mountain was effortlessly shattered, and the Blue Flying Sword was sent flying, its spiritual light dimmed significantly.

“Bing Fire God Thunder!” Shen Luo frowned within the void.

Bing Fire God Thunder was a technique that could only be grasped after reaching a high realm in the cultivation of fire attribute skills. It wasn't surprising that the Red Flame Beast, born of fire essence, could cast this divine technique, but he hadn't expected its power to be so formidable.

Although the Water Cloud Sword was powerful, its materials were far inferior to those of the Pure Yang Sword. Even more so, it was inferior to the Slayer's Broken Sword. After being struck by Bing Fire God Thunder, it was damaged and its spirituality was compromised.

The Red Flame Beast, seizing its advantage, did not relent. Flames surged on its body, and it spat out another attack. This time, seven or eight whip-like flames shot out, filled with violent fire energy, all targeting the Water Cloud Sword, intent on completely destroying the sword.

Shen Luo didn't have many water attribute treasures at his disposal, and he would need the Water Cloud Sword later on. He hurriedly cast a sword technique with a flick of his hand.

A grand crimson sword light shot out, resembling a blossoming red glow, tearing apart all the red light in the surrounding space. It was indeed the Pure Yang Sword, which with a loud boom, slashed at the whip-like flames.

At the same time, a small black flag flew out from his sleeve, exploding into a cloud of dark mist that enveloped the flames.

However, the whip-like flames suddenly changed direction, snaking past the Pure Yang Sword and the Bloodthirsty Flag, and in a flash, they struck fiercely at Shen Luo's concealed position in the void.

Boom!

The whip-like flames exploded, instantly forming a sea of crimson flames several acres in size, submerging Shen Luo within it.

An indescribable intensity of heat spread out, turning the surrounding void entirely red, as if everything had been set ablaze. Within the sea of flames, clumps of Bing Fire God Thunder emerged, densely packed and roaming in all directions, causing the void to tremble.

The Soft Smoke Luo Brocade Clothing was engulfed by the sea of flames, and jolted by the numerous Bing Fire God Thunders, the clothing's stealth was broken, revealing his tracks.

“I've finally caught you, die for me! Hell's Inferno!” The Red Flame Beast, seeing Shen Luo revealed, flashed a smirk of successful conspiracy in its eyes and bellowed loudly. The flames on its body intensified, accompanied by a faint, crisp cry.

Crimson arrays appeared in the Red Sea of Flames, condensing into an eight-sided large array and emitting a strong restrictive force that sealed off all the surrounding space.

“An Array?” Shen Luo's expression changed slightly as he waved his hand to summon the Thousand Cup Golden Goblet, covering his body with tens of thousands of golden light rays, simultaneously striving to escape to the outside.

But massive forces from all around bore down on him like countless mountains, all crashing toward him at once. Even with his current strength, he struggled to move.

“You want to flee now? It's already too late! Witness the power of my Red Flame clan's Eight Fiends Array!” The Red Flame Beast's laughter came from outside.

In the eight corners of the Array, flashes of flame passed, and each one revealed a crimson pattern, each depicting fierce and menacing deities. Suddenly, an eerie and sinister aura filled the Array.

Shen Luo's body involuntarily shivered, his mana moved sluggishly, several times slower than before. A sense of exhaustion surged through his body, and strands of ash began to appear within his mind, making his soul power feel unusually heavy.
