Chapter 1973: Chapter 1969: Someone Else Behind It The Ancestral Dragon also sensed the existence of the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead, and was both shocked and angry, reaching out with its gigantic dragon claw to grab the bead. But Shen Luo’s hands had already formed the final hand seal, completely activating the Big Dipper Seven-Star Array. The light of the Seven Star Giant Sword shone brightly, forming a strange formation map around, with the Big Dipper located at the center, and another three hundred and sixty-five stars arranged around it. Incredibly sharp sword energy erupted, filling the entire void, more powerful than before by at least ten times, with an annihilating killing intent. The black-green light domain was pierced through with thousands of holes by the sword energy, exploding with a thunderous sound, completely collapsing. Shen Luo was slightly stunned; the Big Dipper Seven-Star Sword Array is the final transformation of the Seven Kills Sword Array. He didn’t expect its power to be so great; this array had just been formed and had not been activated, yet it broke through the black-green light domain. The Ancestral Dragon’s body emerged, its large body covered with crisscrossing scars, and blood gushing out, already staining half of its body red. This dragon had formidable strength, yet suffered such severe injuries which were not fatal, as black energy surged over its body, and the wounds healed rapidly once again. Shen Luo secretly admired it, but did not allow it to heal, as the sword technique in his hand changed. “Seven Stars Gather!” Seven giant swords rapidly rotated, connecting head to tail, and instantly formed a grand sword circle, trapping the Ancestral Dragon’s body. The Ancestral Dragon showed a look of terror, intending to make a final struggle, but it was already too late. The sword circle rumbled as it turned, shattering the surrounding void completely, causing the Ancestral Dragon’s body to explode into countless blood rain, splattering in all directions, without a single inch intact. Shen Luo dared not relax, continuously forming seals with his five fingers, as clusters of heavenly fire appeared in the sword array space, quickly turning into a sea of fire, turning the Ancestral Dragon’s blood rains and remains all into ashes. “It’s unexpected that the power of the Pure Yang Seven Kill Sword Array is so formidable, compared to before, it’s simply worlds apart.” The voice of the Fire Spirit Child resounded again. “Last time, I only used the sword energy to scare away Mi Su and his group, without even gathering the sword form. This time, I aimed to annihilate the Ancestral Dragon, so I naturally couldn’t hold back.” Shen Luo, having killed the Ancestral Dragon, felt elated and explained with a hearty laugh. “Shen Luo, your strength is becoming harder and harder for me to see through.” Fire Spirit Child sighed. “Fire Daoist friend, you’re flattering me. Have you completed the soul-searching? This time it’s quite fast, any valuable finds?” Shen Luo asked with a faint smile. Speaking as he formed seals, sending out a golden light, which swept forth from somewhere in the sword array space, bringing the Ten Thousand Poison Mixed Element Bead. “The divine soul power contained in those two demon heads is very scarce, the soul body of Mr. Purple may have already been annihilated by you. What I found is very minimal and not of much value, really ashamed. However, from the remnants of the soul memory, I saw some fragments that Mr. Purple seems proficient in the Heart Demon Method.” The Fire Spirit Child said with some embarrassment. “Heart Demon Method!” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo’s face suddenly changed color, then after a brief pause, looked around suddenly, his brow shining brightly. Mid-air, Nie Caizhu watched as Shen Luo, in just a few moves, killed the Ancestral Dragon, feeling both shocked and joyous. Although she had known for a long time that Shen Luo’s strength was formidable, every time he made a move, it still surprised her greatly. “Cousin, your strength has advanced again, it seems you are not far from the Heavenly Venerate Realm…” Nie Caizhu said as she flew down. Shen Luo’s figure suddenly darted out, lightning flashed over him, and his shadow vanished, the next moment appearing dozens of yards away, his five fingers reaching out like electricity. From his sleeve shot out the Map of Mountains and Rivers, plunging into the void ahead, then quickly retracting, bringing out a silver spiritual talisman from the void. “Big True Projection Spatial Spiritual Talisman!” Nie Caizhu, having seen the Big True Projection Spatial Spiritual Talisman on Shen Luo before, cried out in surprise. Shen Luo did not touch the talisman, instead, his right hand grabbed in the void, and an ancient iron whip appeared in his palm, the War God Whip, striking out towards the spiritual talisman. On the Big True Projection Spatial Spiritual Talisman, black light suddenly appeared, a mass of black shadow shot out from it, fleeing into the distance, seemingly a divine soul. Shen Luo coldly smiled, activating a prohibition within the War God Whip, a black vortex several yards in size manifested, enveloping the black shadow. The black shadow emitted a piercing screech, struggling desperately within the vortex, darting left and right, enlarging and shrinking rapidly, attempting to escape. Yet the Soul Devouring Array is the nemesis of all divine souls, regardless of how the black shadow struggled, it couldn’t break free in the slightest. Calmly, Shen Luo formed seals, shooting hundreds of strands from within the vortex, quickly wrapping the black shadow tightly, rendering it unable to move at all. “Friend Shen, I was momentarily confused, trying to obstruct you, but I hope that considering our past friendship, you’ll spare my life! I’ve dwelled in the Eastern Sea for many years, using the Puppet Law to control many subordinates to secretly operate in the Three Realms, gathering numerous heavenly treasures and various secret techniques, and I’m willing to offer them all to you.” The black shadow flickered, transforming into a dragon’s face, it was the Ancestral Dragon. Shen Luo looked at the black shadow, without speaking. “If Daoist Friend Shen doesn’t believe me, I’m willing to have a soul imprint planted in me, becoming a spirit beast of yours. Although I’m left with only my divine soul, once I seize a new body, I’ll soon restore all my cultivation, which will certainly be of great use to you.” The Ancestral Dragon pleaded again, seeing Shen Luo’s silence. “Plant a Spiritual Communication Seal in your soul? Convenient for you to use the Heart Demon Method to invade my divine soul?” Shen Luo suddenly laughed. “Heart Demon Method? Why does Daoist Friend Shen say this? I am not skilled in this art of god’s power.” The Ancestral Dragon said in amazement. “Mr. Purple, even at this stage, you still want to pretend?” Shen Luo coldly laughed, his fingers bent and pointed. A Xuanyuan’s Divine Thunder shot out, hitting the Ancestral Dragon’s face. The Ancestral Dragon let out a miserable scream, its face scattering, once more turning into a mass of black shadow. The fine threads entwining the black shadow tautly stretched, dragging out a small black figure, with facial features the exact likeness of Mr. Purple. Nie Caizhu and Fire Spirit Child were both shocked upon seeing this, having just seen the sword array annihilate the Ancestral Dragon, yet this soul turned out to be Mr. Purple’s? “How did you discover it?” Mr. Purple said in a low voice. “The Ancestral Dragon had plainly intended to stay out of it earlier, yet suddenly teamed up with the Ape Ancestor and Mi Su just now, I knew something major had happened to him. When we fought moments ago, he seemed formidable, but only utilized six or seven tenths of his strength, and from beginning to end, the Ancestral Dragon never once used his signature Puppet Law, combined with what I had seen before, I realized he was being manipulated, and someone else was dueling me.” Shen Luo explained. “Then how did you know it was me?” Mr. Purple paused briefly before asking again.
