The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 906 - 903 Desperate Situation

Speaking of which, for Taiyi Realm cultivators who wish to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, "purity" is the most critical factor. Even if a cultivator follows the Ghost Path, as long as their body is purely Yin or purely evil, and their essence is refined to a certain degree, they can potentially break through their limits and become a Heavenly Venerate of the Ghost Path.

When the time comes to break through to the Heavenly Venerate Realm, the most dangerous checkpoint on the road of cultivating immortality will descend—that is, facing the invasion of extraterrestrial demons shaped by one’s heart demons.

This fierce ghost is intimately related to the cultivator and often stems from the unwholesome aspects of the cultivator’s mental state. If one fails to successfully endure, they will fall victim to the extraterrestrial demons, and eons of cultivation will turn into nothingness in an instant.

But if one can defeat it, it means they have overcome their greatest flaw, mended their mental state to completeness, and at that time, they can successfully advance to the Heavenly Venerate Realm. Only then can they truly break free from the shackles of lifespan and no longer be troubled by the three disasters.

As for the legendary Great Heavenly Venerate Realm, it concerns the cycles of the Heavenly Dao and is closely related to the myriad causes and effects in the cosmos. One needs to endure countless perils, amass extensive virtue, and pave a new path of cultivation for the world to succeed.

Since the beginning of chaos, only a handful of people have reached that level.

Shen Luo rose from the cave and, with a leap, arrived at the peak of the broken mountain of Five Finger Mountain, then sat down cross-legged.

At this moment, above the vast skydome, the clouds surged, turning into unusual circular layers, as if a passageway had been carved out in the high altitude, leading something to descend to the Human World.

Shen Luo looked up and saw something different from the faces in the void he witnessed during the True Immortal Stage Thunder Tribulation. The manifestations of the Heavenly Dao were not as clear as before, but the breath coming from deeper in the skydome felt even more ancient and majestic.

"Rumble Rumble"

A suppressed sound of rolling thunder came from deep within the skydome, and the entire void seemed to tremble along with it.

Shen Luo saw a light flare up within the hollow passageway, and a tremendous pressure began to descend. It got brighter and more oppressive as it approached closer. freewebnøvel.coɱ

But in a few moments, Shen Luo saw an immense crimson fireball, almost filling the entire passageway, wrapped around with thick golden thunder chains, smashing down directly above him.

When it was still a hundred feet away, a wave of unbearable heat had already hit him in the face. Shen Luo’s eyes narrowed, and with a single hand, the Six Chen Whip materialized in the void and appeared in his grasp.

"Go."

With a light shout, Shen Luo activated the Huangting Technique within him. A Golden Dragon Phantasm coiled out along his arm, wrapping around the Six Chen Whip as he flung it out.

The sound of a whistling roar erupted as the Dragon Chant sounded powerfully from the Six Chen Whip, which instantly swelled dozens of times in size and shot towards the crimson fireball and the gold thunder.

With a thunderous boom, the Six Chen Whip struck the giant fireball like a metal spike, and the Golden Dragon Phantasm on it roared, splitting into several shadows that burrowed into the fireball.

The next instant, an even more intense explosion roared forth.

The crimson fireball and gold thunder burst apart, transforming into a shower of meteoric fireworks that rained down.

The sky full of fire sparks fell, still entwined with strands of gold thunder that persistently struck Shen Luo’s body.

However, the rest of the power was no longer sufficient to harm Shen Luo.

Seeing this, Shen Luo did not relax in the slightest, but his expression became even more solemn. The power of this first strike of thunder tribulation exceeded his expectations.

After this strike of thunder tribulation, the sky temporarily stabilized for a moment, only for the sound of thunder to come once more shortly afterward.

Shen Luo looked up and saw trails of clouds deep in the high altitude, swirling around streaks of white lightning that seemed to be rapidly condensing.

"Rumble rumble"

The sound of thunder grew more urgent, and the white clouds carrying the lightning began to take shape, revealing themselves to be four hundred-foot-tall thundercloud pillars.

Shen Luo concentrated and observed that each of the snow-white thundercloud pillars was engraved with countless dense patterns of clouds, and at the top stood a fearsome statue with wildly flaring hair and beard, a face like an evil ghost, and a pair of wings on its back.

The four statues looked similar in appearance, but each wore different clothing and held different objects in their hands; two of them were pulling chains, another held a hammer and chisel, and the last one had a massive bronze drum slung over its shoulder.

No sooner had the four statues taken form than the four thundercloud pillars descended straight down from high above.

Seeing this, Shen Luo waved his hand, and a surge of black light burst from the Six Chen Whip, as a massive shadow of the whip condensed and fiercely swept toward one of the thundercloud pillars.

However, as the whip shadow swept across, striking the thundercloud pillar, it was as if it had hit a clump of cotton. There was no force behind the strike at all; it simply swept through the air and missed, hitting nothing.

Only a wisp of white cloud from the thundercloud pillar was whisked away, but it quickly drifted back and merged into the pillar again.

"As expected..." Shen Luo sighed softly in his heart.

No sooner had the sound of his voice faded than the four thundercloud pillars had already landed on the ground, causing a series of roars.

The pillars, which had seemed ephemeral just moments before, now rooted themselves firmly upon contact with the ground, turning from ethereal to solid. Bursts of thunderbolt sounds immediately followed, emanating from them.

Shen Luo’s expression tightened as he looked at the thundercloud pillars surrounding him. He reached into the void with his hand and grasped the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod.

"Clang clang clang"

Just then, a rapid sound of chains rang out. The snow-white chains held by the statues on two of the thundercloud pillars had already shot out, rushing toward Shen Luo.

Shen Luo hurriedly swung the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, creating a powerful whirlwind that deflected the two snow-white chains from their original trajectory.

However, though the chains had veered off slightly, they still wound around the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod like snakes, extending rapidly and still heading straight for Shen Luo’s chest.

Shen Luo’s eyebrows shot up, a burst of golden light shone from his body, and two golden dragon phantasms together with a golden elephant phantasm appeared behind him, charging toward the snow-white chains.

Just as they were about to collide, a thunderous sound erupted from the snow-white chains, and countless bright strands of electricity burst forth, striking in all directions.

At the same time, the two snow-white chains also suddenly turned from solid to ethereal, piercing through the Golden Dragon and Golden Elephant phantasms, and stabbed directly into Shen Luo’s chest.

"Ugh..."

He gave a light groan, his heart suddenly tightening, and his body went limp. He could no longer hold onto the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, which clanged to the ground.

Shen Luo slowly looked down only to find that the two snow-white chains had pierced through his chest and emerged from his shoulders, piercing right through his clavicles.

Upon examining himself, he discovered that although his mana was still present, it had been largely blocked off, with only a tenth remaining at his disposal.

Shen Luo’s heart sank heavily, for in such a state, he had no power to contend with the thunder tribulation.
