The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1836 - 1832: One Step Ahead

"No way, once your gu insects enter the space passageway, let alone withstand the oppressive power of space, even if they manage to get through, with your sensing ability, can you tell where they are?" said the Tear Demon, shaking its head.

"This..." Yuan Qiu was momentarily speechless.

Even with the special connection he had with the gu insects, he might not be able to sense their whereabouts.

"Why not try that Beiming Giant Scale? If this situation is related to the Beiming Kun, perhaps this scale might be of some use?" Nie Caizhu suddenly spoke up, reminding them.

Shen Luo nodded upon hearing this. Immediately, he turned his wrist and took out the massive green-black scale.

The green-black scale came out, indeed meeting Shen Luo’s expectations. The textures on it shone with a faint gloss, rippling like tides.

Shen Luo carefully observed the direction in which the gloss was flowing, adjusted the orientation several times, and soon discovered that the direction indicated by the gloss did not change, always pointing toward one place.

At this time, Ao Hong also walked up, gently stroking the Beiming Giant Scale with one hand, as a layer of faint spiritual pressure slowly emanated from it.

"In the direction of the gloss flow, one can feel the presence of the Beiming Kun’s true form, resonating with this scale from afar," the voice of the Ancestral Dragon echoed in Shen Luo’s mind.

"Go over there." Shen Luo said with excitement, raising his hand to point.

Everyone saw this and immediately set out, diving toward that direction.

However, for some reason, despite having already restrained their breath, as they approached the ruins of the Daqu Nation’s city walls, all the demons and ghosts within the city sensed their presence and emerged one after another.

"It’s really ghostly; they seem to have a response to the scale too," the Mirror Fiend swore angrily.

"Forget it, charge through." Shen Luo yelled loudly.

Everyone disregarded everything else and no longer followed the city’s streets, instead charging straight from above towards the indicated direction of the Beiming Giant Scale.

There, stood a tall building resembling a palace, with a circular top that was open on four sides and glowing with a white brilliant light in the center, marking the entrance to a space passage.

"Aoo..."

The sound of beast roars echoed, shaking the entire sea area.

Black shadows shot out from every corner of the seabed city, rushing toward Shen Luo and his team.

The Yin Soul Ghosts within the city also emitted white light, surrounding them from all sides.

Shen Luo waved his hand, sending out over ten Pure Yang Flying Swords, rushing toward a massive water demon that resembled a giant crocodile; as soon as the sword light reached it, it dispersed into hundreds of rays, slicing it into fragments without any hindrance.

"Charge forward..."

Shen Luo muttered softly, and with another motion of his hands, the swords in front of him suddenly swelled with resounding sword cries, bursting with radiant light within the murky water, radiating Pure Yang Power like the scorching sun illuminating the sky.

All the Yin Soul Ghosts were frozen in place by the light, too afraid to approach any further.

Yet, the demons in the water relentlessly charged toward Shen Luo and the others.

Seeing this, Ao Hong suddenly raised a hand, his five fingers bending like dragon claws, twisting forward, causing five rays of golden shine to burst from his fingertips and spin in the sea water.

In a flash, a force like moving mountains and overturning seas surged out, twisting five golden rays into mighty torrents that rushed outward like ropes, creating a void without water in the middle.

"Go," Ao Hong shouted explosively.

Everyone instantly dashed through the void at high speed, descending toward the domed top of the palace building below.

"Boom"

A muffled roar echoed as countless demons collided against the water wall barrier Ao Hong had created, causing the void to twist violently, yet steadfastly remaining intact.

"Seeking death," Ao Hong scowled fiercely, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

He reached out with his other hand toward the massive demon beast trying to break the void first, squeezing it with a clenched fist, forcing tremendous pressure from all sides.

The enormous demon beast let out a miserable howl; before long, its bones broke inch by inch, blood surged out, staining a large swath of sea water red.

The surrounding beasts, drawn by the scent of blood, stopped their attack on Shen Luo and others, turning toward it instead.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the two, Shen Luo and the others finally reached the dome’s top.

Shen Luo glanced at the space passage below, hesitant to let Yuan Qiu send some gu insects inside to scout first, when the white light suddenly burst forth, rapidly expanding.

Before they could react, they were engulfed by the white light, disappearing from the scene.

...

Above the ocean trench, Bai Chuan was leading thousands of demons, marching toward the massive city at the bottom.

The short Demon Tribe Mr. Purple was cradling the Beiming Giant Scale, with the textures on it pulsating toward the domed top of that palace building.

"With this item, there’s no fear of not finding the way..." Bai Chuan said with a smile.

But as soon as he finished, his smile froze abruptly, for in his view, the once ominous and quiet ocean trench had become incredibly lively.

The enormous city, which should have been silent, was now teeming with innumerable Yin Soul Ghosts and hidden water demons, surging upward like a tide, heading straight for them.

"What’s going on? We haven’t even entered the city, yet they’ve all come out?" Bai Chuan frowned.

Mr. Purple deliberated for a moment and his expression changed, saying, "I’m afraid someone has entered the East Sea Abyss ahead of us, waking those Yin Soul Ghosts and water demons."

Hearing this, Bai Chuan’s face turned as dark as water.

Jin Jian and You Xiong Kun also frowned upon hearing this.

The many water demons behind them were also visibly tense, looking at those large Yin Soul Ghosts and demon beasts with creeping fear.

"There’s no time to waste, kill them all..." Bai Chuan commanded.

Following the order, everyone disregarded their fears and, under the lead of numerous commanders, charged straight at those Yin Soul Ghosts and demon beasts, engaging in chaotic battle.

Bai Chuan and Mr. Purple, along with trusted allies, followed the direction indicated by the Beiming Giant Scale further into the city.

"No matter who is ahead, I must kill them all." Bai Chuan said coldly.

The trouble these guys stirred resulted in their misfortune, a point he could not tolerate.

...

Meanwhile, the battle on the sea surface was nearing its end.

With Sun Wukong overseeing, the Flower Fruit Mountain generals quickly routed the mismatched troops of the Demon Alliance, leaving all warships destroyed and no soldiers left unscathed, either dead or fleeing.

After regrouping his forces, Sun Wukong addressed his monkey attendants:

"The situation beneath the sea is perilous; having too many people may not be beneficial. I will take four capable warriors and a hundred loyal guards down, while the rest retreat from this sea area and await on nearby islands."

"Great King, let this old servant follow; I can help and won’t be a burden," an old ape of the Dacheng Stage shouted.

"Great King, we want to go too..." other monkeys echoed in response.

The scene became chaotic in an instant.
