The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 900 - 897: Venturing Alone into the Deep

Shen Luo heard the noise and immediately looked down.

Just below, the calm surface of the water suddenly turned a bright red, and a scorching heat emanated from the bottom of the lake.

Following that, the entire water area began to boil, as white steam bubbled up with a "gurgling" sound, and clusters of flame-like red lotuses rose from the bottom of the lake, surging up towards Shen Luo and Bai Ling.

Seeing this, Shen Luo promptly grabbed Bai Ling and ascended into the air, flying up toward the Gobi in the high altitude.

As they neared one of the mountain peaks, a layer of colorful dazzling light spread over them, and the world seemed to suddenly flip upside down, causing Shen Luo and Bai Ling to involuntarily fall towards the mountain peak.

Just as the two were about to land, the surrounding scenery changed once more, and lush mountain forests and trees suddenly sprouted from the ground, quickly obscuring the Gobi and in an instant, transforming it into a vibrant oasis.

A "rumble" resounded through the high skies, and as Shen Luo looked up, he saw the skydome seemingly ignite, turning a thorough red, with sky-filling flames raining down like meteor showers from the high altitudes, smashing towards the earth.

As the flames drew closer, the surrounding air grew hotter, and Shen Luo silently circulated the Nameless Cultivation Technique, with a wave of his hand, summoning the void’s moisture to form a blue water curtain above their heads.

No sooner had the water curtain formed than the sky-filling flames fell upon it, stirring up waves upon the blue curtain, with copious amounts of evaporation caused by the fire creating dense white fog, obscuring the sky. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Fortunately, the fire’s strength was not great, mostly being extinguished by the moisture upon hitting the water curtain.

After a long time, the rumbling in the sky gradually subsided, and the fiery red that filled the skydome also faded away.

When all sounds had disappeared, Shen Luo waved his hand to dissolve the water curtain in the sky, and looking up into the high altitude, he saw that all traces of water and fire phenomena had vanished, and the skies were clear once again.

"Did you encounter this phenomenon when you entered last time?" Shen Luo asked with a frown.

"Back then, I was just a little white mink without Spiritual Wisdom. If I had encountered these phenomena, I wouldn’t have survived," said Bai Ling, still shaken, shaking her head.

"Well then, let’s keep looking," Shen Luo sighed upon hearing her words.

With that, he leapt up to the top of a Towering Ancient Tree, looking off into the distance.

This time, not having flown too far from the ground, Shen Luo did not see the colorful dazzling light that had previously obscured his view. He looked around and indeed spotted the black, rugged strange stone again.

However, this time the rugged strange stone appeared atop the central mountain peak of this mountain forest.

"Elder Shen, it seems a bit different this time," said Bai Ling, who had also flown up by now.

"What’s different?" Shen Luo asked.

"This time, there are no colorful lights swirling around that stone," Bai Ling said, pointing towards the mountain peak.

"You can see the colorful lights?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

He could only see those lights when he flew high and looked down, but Bai Ling was able to see them from below.

"I thought you could see them too, so I didn’t mention it just now." Bai Ling was somewhat surprised seeing Shen Luo’s reaction.

After listening, Shen Luo’s gaze became fixed on Bai Ling’s eyes as he inspected them closely.

After a while, he frowned slightly, and in her pupils, he saw strands of floating golden lines.

"No wonder you can see the colorful dazzling light, you actually have a natural Spirit Eye," Shen Luo said in amazement.

"Spirit Eye?" Bai Ling asked in confusion.

Realizing her bewilderment and remembering that she had stumbled into cultivation by meditating on murals, Shen Luo knew she wouldn’t understand what a Spirit Eye was, and promptly explained, "It’s a unique type of eye ability that allows you to see things ordinary people can’t, or to unleash some special mystic arts."

"So that’s what it is," Bai Ling said, nodding her head in confusion.

"Let’s go and have a look over there," Shen Luo said, and, grabbing Bai Ling’s arm, he flew with her towards the mountain peak.

Approaching the area, Shen Luo didn’t land directly on the rugged strange stones on the ground. Instead, after asking Bai Ling, he landed on the perimeter where the colorful dazzling light didn’t cover.

There were no tall trees on the mountain top, only some low bushes.

Shen Luo saw at a glance that these bushes grew only in the area beyond a radius of tens of feet from the rugged strange stones.

Between them, it was as if an invisible barrier stood that neatly blocked the growth of the bushes.

Within the "barrier", the mountain rocks were completely exposed, and on the flat ground stood the rugged strange stone, still with no sight of the red dead tree.

"That’s the one," Bai Ling suddenly exclaimed.

"What?" Shen Luo asked.

"This stone is that dead tree, it has just been broken off, and the tree hole below is covered up," Bai Ling said immediately, pointing at one side of the strange stone.

Shen Luo looked intently and indeed saw wood grain on the strange stone; it was just that the color was so deep that it blended in, making it look like a stone at first glance.

And that dead tree had broken into two parts, with one end of the treetop fallen to the side, revealing half of a black hole beneath.

"It’s that hole," Bai Ling’s eyes lit up with excitement, and she made a move towards the hole.

Shen Luo quickly stopped her and casually flicked a water droplet from the void towards the space ahead.

There was a faint "whoosh" sound.

The water droplet shot out straight; just as it passed the edge of the bushes, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation rippled through the void, and suddenly a whirlwind rose around the rugged strange stone.

Then, the sound of metal and stone clashing rang out.

Within that area, streaks of golden light crisscrossed, like razor-sharp sword edges slicing through, shredding that piece of the void to pieces.

Bai Ling, seeing this scene, suddenly stood there stunned. If Shen Luo had not stopped her in time, she would have been minced into a puddle of flesh by now.

Watching this scene, Shen Luo grew more puzzled. How exactly had this little white marten gotten in, that year?

"Elder Shen, I really don’t know what’s going on..." Bai Ling saw Shen Luo sizing her up and guessed what he was thinking and said.

"Perhaps after you went in and came out that year, this place has changed," Shen Luo said.

"Then Elder, how are we going to get in?" Bai Ling asked.

"Not ’we’, just myself. Your physical body is too frail, it’s too dangerous for you to go in," Shen Luo, looking at Bai Ling, said.

On hearing this, Bai Ling’s eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment. However, after another glance at the golden light remnants that still hadn’t settled around the dead tree, she sensibly shrank her neck.

"Then I’ll just wait here for Elder Shen to come out," Bai Ling said.

Shen Luo nodded, walked slowly to the edge of the bushes, swung his hand in front of him, and then took a step forward.

The instant Shen Luo stepped into that area, he immediately felt a tightness all over his body. An invisible force of constriction swept in from all directions, leaving only an aura of suppressing kill between heaven and earth.

His eyes focused, and suddenly, extremely fine lines of golden light appeared before him. At first glance, they appeared to be golden silk threads, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be blades as thin as cicada wings.
