The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 853

Chapter 853: Chapter 850 Time Waits for No One Chapter 853: Chapter 850 Time Waits for No One Nie Cai Zhu glanced at Shen Luo, who was seated cross-legged, and leapt into the air, positioning herself between Shen Luo and the other two, and Liu Qing, waving the Yangliu Branch in her hand.

Green light flickered in the void, and willow trees materialized from nowhere, intertwining with each other.

In a matter of breaths, a green wall of trees, hundreds of feet high and nearly a hundred feet wide, formed, shielding Shen Luo and the others from the blue light shield.

The Black Bear Demon paid no attention to the surroundings, closing its eyes and murmuring unintelligibly.

Bright golden light illuminated its body, undulating like waves. Moments later, strands of golden patterns emerged from within, rapidly spreading through the void.

Within a few breaths, a Golden Array spanning twenty or thirty feet in mid-air appeared.

Innumerable golden Buddha lights danced within the Array, the sound of Buddhist chants filled the void, instilling a sense of solemnity in anyone who heard them. The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi around them trembled in resonance with these golden lights, creating countless golden Buddha figures.

Although Shen Luo's eyes were closed, he could sense the surrounding activities, a flicker of surprise crossing his mind, but he soon returned to a state of calm.

The Black Bear Demon suddenly opened its eyes, waved both hands, and as its fingers flashed with golden light, seven or eight nail-like golden objects appeared.

With a lift of his hand, punctuated by several “pfft” sounds, the Black Bear Demon actually stabbed these golden nails into critical parts of its body such as the crown, chest, and Dantian.

Any damage to these areas could lead to severe injury or even death, yet the Black Bear Demon appeared unphased after having the nails pierced into it, continuing to chant and gesture with hand seals.

The surrounding Golden Array rapidly began to spin, emitting swathes of golden light. Strands of Golden Array Pattern suddenly shot out from within the Array, piercing into various parts of Shen Luo's body.

A trace of pain appeared on Shen Luo's face, but he soon regained his composure.

As the Array spun, the dense Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi suddenly fluctuated, collapsing toward the Golden Array and forming a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex that corresponded to the Purple-black cocoon on the opposite side, vying for the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth.

In the blue light shield across from them, Liu Qing suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the opposite direction, but unfortunately, Nie Cai Zhu's summoned wall of great trees obstructed her view, preventing her from seeing the situation on the other side.

The area was heavily restricted, and even Divine Sense could not spread out.

Liu Qing's delicate eyebrows furrowed. Although she could not see what the others on the opposite side were doing, she was certain they were trying to stop her.

After a moment of contemplation, she flicked her fingers continuously, sending out one Blood Talisman after another. Exactly eighteen talismans flew out and merged into the eighteen Magic Puppets.

A blood-colored mark appeared on the brows of the Magic Puppets, and the surge of Demonic Qi from them instantly increased manifold, rolling into the Purple-black cocoon.

Liu Qing then took out an object, a palm-sized blood-red bone with a black Demon Head pattern etched on it. The bone emitted wisps of Black Qi and a nauseating odor that made one want to vomit upon smelling it.

Indistinct sounds emanated from the bone, as if bones were grinding against each other, or as if teeth were chewing on something.

Liu Qing's hand trembled slightly as she looked at the bone, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself, clamping the bone between her hands and pressing hard.

A crisp “crack” resonated as the bone shattered into seven or eight pieces.

The woman first pointed at the White Talisman on the Jade Purification Bottle. After the talisman brightened, a series of white lines spread out, quickly covering the entire blue shield.

The originally transparent blue shield was suddenly overwhelmed by a white light, and the sounds and fluctuations of Qi from outside disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Liu Qing finally relaxed. With a flick of her finger toward a blood-red bone fragment, it burst with a pop, turning into a thick mass of blood light that whooshed into the purple-black cocoon.

The black light inside the cocoon suddenly began to flash violently, and at the same time, a shrill scream emanated from within, unmistakably the voice of Wei Qing.

However, the scream did not last long, subsiding after just a few breaths. The black light inside the cocoon stabilized and expanded considerably.

“Good, you have adapted to the blood and bones of Lord Demon Emperor so quickly,” Liu Qing said with a delighted expression, flicking her finger once more towards another blood-red bone fragment, which also transformed into a mass of blood light and merged into the cocoon.

Wei Qing screamed again, but it quickly died down. The black light inside the cocoon became noticeably brighter, and Liu Qing pointed her finger at the third blood bone fragment.

In this manner, all the blood-red bone fragments were soon invested into the purple-black cocoon. The black light within brightened by more than tenfold, and a terrifying presence spread out from within the cocoon as if something monstrously formidable was gestating inside.

Feeling this, an unusual fervor appeared on Liu Qing's face as she formed incantation gestures with her hands rapidly like turning wheels.

“Why has there suddenly been no movement on the other side? Eh!” Across the tree wall, Bai Xiaotian suddenly uttered a light exclamation, flashing past the tree wall and then exclaiming in surprise again.

“What happened?” Both the Little Bear Monster and Nie Caizhu circled around the tree wall to see, with their expressions changing immediately.

They only saw that inside the blue shield, a layer of white light suddenly enveloped everything, completely isolating the fluctuations within, to the degree that they were indiscernible.

“It seems that Liu Qing is about to perform some kind of secret technique that must not be witnessed; hence the isolation of both Qi and sight. Protector, Brother Shen, you must hasten your pace,” Bai Xiaotian said.

Inside the Golden Light Array, the Black Bear Demon murmured an incantation, and the light on those golden nails on his body flickered continuously. Pure, intense white beams of light shot out, following the pattern of the Array and pouring into Shen Luo's body, adhering to his meridians and Dantian.

The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, drawn together, was absorbed and transformed by the Golden Array before swarming into Shen Luo's body as well.

Mana within Shen Luo's body increased rapidly; his meridians expanded quickly under the covering of the white light to accommodate the surging mana.

His aura strengthened swiftly, advancing from the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and then breaking through to the Great Mahayana Stage in the blink of an eye.

The Little Bear Monster and Nie Caizhu witnessed this and showed expressions of astonishment.

To elevate someone's cultivation level so dramatically was truly astonishing. Although they had heard of the Lingdong Nine Heavens Secret Technique, seeing it for the first time was quite a different matter.

As Bai Xiaotian had seen Shen Luo use similar methods to forcibly enhance his cultivation realm several times before, he remained calm.

In contrast to Shen Luo's continuously rising cultivation, the aura of the Black Bear Demon began to weaken rapidly.

However, the Black Bear Demon didn't pay attention to his own condition. Sensing the rate of Shen Luo's cultivation increase, his brow furrowed, as he still felt it was insufficient.

The Black Bear Demon bit his teeth slightly and then suddenly clasped his hands in front of him, forming a strange seal.

His entire body suddenly burst forth with bright, pure white light, like a small sun. The white light, as if alive, writhed and eventually detached from his body, gradually coalescing to form a white figure.
