The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 363: Chapter 359: Resurrection (Fifth Update) Chapter 363: Chapter 359: Resurrection (Fifth Update) Although Shen Luo was quick to dodge, his left arm was still grazed by the tail end of the Sword Qi. The protective golden light on him was effortlessly penetrated by the green Sword Qi as if it were non-existent.

With a soft “splat” sound, a cut was made on his left arm, and blood splattered out. His tough skin couldn’t withstand the green Sword Qi launched by the opponent.

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes, showing no fear, and lunged forward.

His current body possessed astonishing potential, and the Huangting Technique he cultivated was the Sect’s Treasure of Mount Fangcun. The Slanting Moon Steps he learned were also incredibly exquisite; so long as they were applied properly, even facing a higher-level opponent wasn’t an issue, let alone a cultivator of the same level.

The two of them immediately engaged in a fierce battle, with the golden light and Sword Qi blending together, forming a massive whirlwind.

After more than twenty rounds of fighting, Shen Luo abruptly retreated, leaving a streak of afterimages behind. His body and arm bore several new wounds, bleeding copiously; he looked rather ragged.

The silver armored youth stood stiffly in place. His two green greatswords had shockingly pierced through his own body, the tips protruding from his back.

The silver armored youth’s body quickly turned transparent and disappeared completely after a few breaths, leaving behind a ball of white light that flew towards Shen Luo.

This time, Shen Luo didn’t dodge at all and let the white light pierce into his body.

Just as he drew a breath, his vision blurred and he was back in the golden hall.

The next moment, the ball of white light appeared in his Sea of Knowledge, merging into his divine soul. The intense pain resurfaced, but having experienced it before, he didn’t panic. He sat cross-legged and endured the pain without making a sound.

A moment later, the intense pain subsided like the ebbing tide, and his Soul Power had once again increased quite a bit.

Just like before, he obtained the battle experience and martial arts inheritance of the silver armored youth: a sword technique that allowed him to operate two swords like flying.

Shen Luo was slightly delighted in his heart. The spear technique he got from slaying the silver armored man previously wasn’t very useful. But this time, the double sword technique was somewhat useful. When he activated the Huangting Technique, his hands were as solid as iron and capable of cutting through metal. This allowed him to transform his hands into swords and utilize this sword technique.

Just like before, a golden pill flew out from the golden tower in the Armored Heavenly General’s hand, suspended in front of him. He checked it a bit, confirmed that there was no error, and swallowed it down. Not only did his cultivation improve significantly, his injuries also miraculously healed all at once.

“Good, let’s see what other formidable Heavenly Soldiers will appear!” Shen Luo stood up, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit.

Fighting these Heavenly Soldiers time and time again wasn’t easy, but the gains were great. His cultivation had improved rapidly, far superior to closed-door cultivation.

The battle experience of these Heavenly Soldiers also greatly improved his fighting skills. His control over Mana and physical strength was becoming more and more proficient.

Such an opportunity is not something that could be encountered casually. Even after waking up from the dream and returning to reality, although he wouldn’t be able to take the cultivation treasures back, the things etched deep in his memory could certainly be retained.

As he was considering this, the Armored Heavenly General opened his eyes again, and two rays of golden light shot out, enveloping Shen Luo’s body.

His vision blurred, and when he came to his senses, he found himself back on the green stone platform.

A tall man, armored in silver and wielding a halberd, appeared out of thin air, the silver light flashing a few meters ahead.

A powerful aura emanated from him, reaching the middle peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, stronger than before.

Yet Shen Luo showed no fear. With a roar, he was the first to charge forward.

And so, he entered the golden space time and again, batteling with the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers, constantly improving his cultivation and combat skills.

Thanks to the Huangting Technique and Slanting Moon Steps, he made quite a smooth start and successively slew five or six Silver Armored Heavenly Soldiers, raising his cultivation to the late Nascent Soul Stage.

The cultivation of those Heavenly Soldiers that appeared on the Stone Platform was only slightly higher than his own. However, at this level, any slight increase in cultivation would result in an enormous disparity in strength. Moreover, the skills practiced by those Heavenly Soldiers were becoming increasingly formidable and their martial techniques were becoming more refined.

The advantages of the Huangting Technique and the Slanting Moon Steps were gradually being neutralized, making Shen Luo’s victories increasingly difficult.

Eventually, when facing an extremely powerful Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier wielding dual blades, he made a mistake that allowed his opponent to breach his defense and pierce his body with a blade.

Before he could react, another bright, swift-as-lightning blade light swept toward him. With a “pfft” sound, it bisected his body at the waist.

Is this where it ends?” Shen Luo sighed inwardly. Despite his reluctance, he was helpless, admitting the opponent’s strength was indeed superior to his own.

This meant that the trial bestowed upon him by the Golden Armor Heavenly General could be considered a failure.

However, at this moment, his view suddenly blurred, and he found himself back in the Golden Hall.

Shen Luo was slightly startled, and his bisected body was unable to move at all. Soon, his vision began to darken.

A light sound came from ahead, and he managed to raise his head. The Golden Armor Heavenly General, who had somehow risen to stand, stared at him with gray-black eyes, exuding an icy cold aura.

“If you’ve lost, you’re not the one I’m waiting for!” The Golden Armor Heavenly General’s dry lips moved, speaking in a hoarse voice before gesturing with his hand.

The golden tower in his hand shone, and a bolt of golden light shot forth, carrying a phantom image of the Golden Tower and striking Shen Luo.

With a light “puff ” sound, Shen Luo’s resilient body crumbled like an egg, easily crushed and completely shattered.

Shen Luo’s vision went dark, and after an unknown stretch of time, his vision restored, finding himself again on the Stone Platform in the golden space.

A Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier wielding dual blades stood several yards away, his arm swinging down, and two streaks of bright blade light were slashing towards him – it was the same person who had killed him moments ago.

He hastily dodged, a hint of joy flickered across his face.

“I almost forgot, I can die and resurrect in my dreams.”

The dual blades of the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier waved, and streak after streak of bright blade light flew out, raging like tidal waves, one wave followed by another, each faster than the previous, seemingly without any flaws to exploit.

Previously, Shen Luo had been suppressed by this blade-light torrent, unable to find an opportunity to counterattack, and eventually ended in total defeat.

However, he had died and resurrected this time and had experience from previous battles with the opponent, so he was able to handle it smoothly.

After dodging a few times, Shen Luo seized an opportunity amidst the continuous blade light of the Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier, darting out, his body becoming as thin as paper, barely squeezing between two streaks of blade light.

Despite using the physical transformation ability of the Huangting Technique, he still couldn’t completely dodge the blade light’s attack, and he felt a burning pain across his chest and abdomen.

However, Shen Luo completely ignored his injuries and charged straight for the opponent’s body like a bolt of lightning.

The Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier seemed taken aback too, his dual blades merged horizontally and slashed out.

“zzt”
A bright blade light tens of yards long and several yards high shot out, slashing toward Shen Luo like a raging sea wave, block all paths forward.
