The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1834 - 1830: Beiming Kun Scale

"It was an earthquake rarely seen even in hundreds of years, affecting a vast area. At that time, the tsunami waves stirred up by the Eastern Sea were more than a hundred feet high, with the seawater forcefully flooding inland, nearly reaching Daughter Village. Afterwards, when I went to investigate the Eastern Sea, I found that countless spatial portals had already appeared in the East Sea Abyss," Granny Sun said.

"Did you find out whether the earthquake was a natural disaster or if there was another reason behind it?" Shen Luo asked.

Granny Sun hesitated slightly, turned her wrist, and a green-black scale as big as a cattail fan appeared in her palm, with a faint gloss and unique dense texture, as if polished from obsidian.

"I picked this up during my investigation at the East Sea Abyss. Take a look," Granny Sun said.

With that, she handed the round green-black scale to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo took it and found the scale appeared thin, yet was quite heavy in hand, with a faintly cool touch, and unexpectedly still had some blood energy power residue.

"It’s been separated from the main body for decades, how can it still have such blood energy strength residual? What exactly is this scale?" Shen Luo inquired.

"As for what this object truly is, I haven’t figured it out either, but I think its main body might very well be the source of the changes in the East Sea Abyss, because the entire East Sea Abyss was filled with its aura back then, which only gradually faded away later," Granny Sun said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo stroked the scale in his hand, pondering for a long time.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside, and an elder from Daughter Village entered the hall to report that several outsiders had arrived outside the village and were intercepted by them.

"What kind of people are they?" Shen Luo asked immediately upon hearing the news.

"Among them are one man and one woman of the Human Race, the remaining three are from the Demon Race. One has a peculiar aura, and I can’t determine their origin," said the elder after a brief consideration.

"Why, Friend Shen, could they be your companions?" Granny Sun noticed the change in Shen Luo’s expression and asked.

"Judging from the number of people, it matches indeed; the one whose identity they couldn’t discern is most probably the new Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, Ao Hong," Shen Luo said with a smile. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Bring them in," Granny Sun said.

Before long, everyone had entered the great hall under the elder’s guidance.

"Cai Zhu." Shen Luo immediately saw the beautiful woman entering and went up to her at once.

After a brief conversation, they learned that the places each individual emerged from the spatial portals were quite similar, only the time was significantly different. Fortunately, Yuan Qiu had been searching on the sea, ultimately bringing them all together to find Shen Luo here.

Following mutual introductions, Ao Hong’s gaze fell instantly on the large scale in Shen Luo’s hand.

"Brother Shen, where does this thing come from?" Ao Hong asked, frowning.

"Why, do you recognize it?" Shen Luo asked.

"This...this is a Beiming Kun’s scale," Ao Hong paused slightly, then said.

Shen Luo immediately understood; it must be the Ancestral Dragon Soul within Ao Hong that recognized the item.

"Beiming Kun...Beiming Giant Scale?" The thought echoed sharply in Shen Luo’s mind.

Previously, Ma Xiuxiu had mentioned to You Quan about the Beiming Giant Scale — could this be it? Even if it isn’t, they must be connected somehow.

"Granny Sun, this may be related to the Demon Clan activities I’m investigating; could I ask you to lend it to me temporarily? I am willing to exchange it for a battle formation map of considerable rank," Shen Luo said, clasping his hands together.

"Daoist friend Shen, there’s no need for this; you’ve already benefited us greatly by helping us drive back the Demon Alliance; this scale should be given to you without compensation, how could I ask for anything in return?" Granny Sun said, shaking her hands quickly.

"Now that Daughter Village’s defensive formations have been destroyed, should those Demon Alliance fellows return, how will you withstand them? What I can offer now is merely a formation map, as for formation materials, I can only provide part, and the rest you’ll have to supplement yourselves," Shen Luo said, looking apologetic.

As he spoke, he took out a storage ring and presented it to Granny Sun.

During their prior conversation, Shen Luo had already contacted the Fire Spirit Child within the Free and Easy Mirror, to select an appropriate formation map for him and leave behind some formation materials.

"This is already very good. Since you are here at Daughter Village, take a good rest for a few days so we can fully host you," Granny Sun sincerely thanked, receiving the ring.

"I’m truly sorry; the Demon Clan’s focus on the East Sea Abyss may cause more trouble soon; we must explore it again urgently to prevent the Demon Clan from seizing the opportunity and causing more calamity," Shen Luo said, clasping his hands.

"There’s no rush in a day or two; currently, Daughter Village is struggling itself, unlikely to be able to assist, only providing you a safe place to rest quietly. Don’t decline," Granny Sun said with regret.

"Why say such things, Granny? Obtaining this Beiming Giant Scale already helps greatly...if so, we’ll linger in the village for a day, leaving tomorrow," Shen Luo said with a smile.

After more conversation, Granny Sun had someone take Shen Luo away to rest.

Once Shen Luo left, Granny Sun came to the inner room and gently patted a location on the wall.

The wall creaked open, revealing a passageway about ten feet high.

Granny Sun walked through the passageway to a dark room.

There was a square wooden incense table placed here, with an empty inscription made of White Bones positioned centrally, eerily.

On either side of the inscription were two purple candles burning, casting a faint purple flame, adding some light to the room yet enhancing its ominous atmosphere.

Granny Sun picked up an incense stick from the incense table, lit it with the purple flame, bowed to the inscription three times, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The green smoke rose in spirals but didn’t dissipate; instead, it gradually gathered, forming a foggy human face.

"How are things?" The human face’s eyes opened slowly, speaking in an extremely pleasant female voice.

"Everything has been done according to the ancestor Master’s instructions; that giant scale has already been handed to Shen Luo," Granny Sun said.

"Good..." The foggy human face smirked slightly.

...

The next day in the early morning.

Shen Luo and his group bid farewell to Daughter Village, heading again toward the East Sea Abyss.

Compared to when they arrived the previous day, the storm wall over the East Sea Abyss had grown even larger, and as they passed through it, all felt waves of powerful Spiritual Pressure.

However, they didn’t pause, directly diving into the waters of the East Sea Abyss.

Shortly after entering the East Sea Abyss underwater, the fog within the storm wall roiled violently, with massive warships emerging from the mist, arriving atop the water area above the East Sea Abyss.

More than ten massive warships lined up side by side, crowded with humanoid shadows, densely packed with thousands of Demons, each wielding weapons with excitement, absolutely fearless.

Behind them, mastbearers displayed flags either apricot yellow or crimson, embroidered with the large characters "Demon Alliance."

At the forefront of the lead warship’s deck stood a pale young man wearing a high crown and a black fox fur cloak, leaning on a strangely crimson staff as if blood vessels intertwined.

Beside him stood a short man, with hands behind his back, expression laden with calm serenity.

If Shen Luo were present, he’d instantly recognize this man, someone he’d seen while dreaming, who had been discussing the East Sea Abyss with Ma Xiuxiu as a member of the Demon Clan.

For some unknown reason, at this moment, not a hint of Demonic Qi was emitted from him; instead, his body was surrounded by faint Demon Qi, appearing to be a deeply hidden great demon.
