The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 929 - 926: Tear Demon Pearl

As the Tear Demon was sealed within the Blue Iceberg, the seven or eight Shen Luos all stopped moving and then disappeared like bubbles.

The space behind that palm trembled, and the real Shen Luo slowly emerged, raising his hand with a summoning gesture.

The Demon-slaying Broken Sword flew back and landed in his hand.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Shen Luo’s mouth revealed a slight smile.

Over this period of time, he had also used the Innate Treasure-refining Technique to consecrate this divine sword, and he had already cultivated a considerably strong connection with it, capable of unleashing a small portion of its might. Today was the first attempt to activate it, and indeed, it had accomplished a great feat in one fell swoop.

Two figures flashed into existence behind Shen Luo, one being Bai Xiaotian, and the other was the Mirror Fiend, holding that blue mirror in her hand.

The Tear Demon inside the Iceberg saw the Mirror Fiend and Shen Luo standing together and immediately showed a flame-like rage in her eyes.

Seeing the expression of the Tear Demon, the Mirror Fiend subconsciously wanted to explain, but after glancing at Shen Luo in front of her, she swallowed back her words.

Having become Shen Luo’s spirit beast, the Mirror Fiend subconsciously felt fear towards him. Shen Luo had come looking for the Tear Demon, and she did not know why; she was afraid that speaking out of turn would disrupt Shen Luo’s plans.

"Master, you promised me before not to harm her life," she said hesitantly, still filled with guilt, but eventually spoke out.

"Don’t worry, since I promised you, I will do it," Shen Luo replied indifferently, putting away the Demon-slaying Broken Sword with a flip of his hand.

The Mirror Fiend let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Shen Luo glanced at the Mirror Fiend, a trace of unusual color flashing through his pupils.

The sudden appearance of seven or eight Shen Luos was exactly the result of the Mirror Fiend’s Mirror Avatar God’s Power. These were not ordinary doppelgangers and could simulate all of the breath, abilities, and even Magical Treasures of the original body, also possessing one-tenth of the original body’s strength. It was quite a useful auxiliary ability.

Unfortunately, as the Mirror Fiend’s cultivation level was not high, creating eight doppelgangers was her limit.

Shen Luo turned his head to look at the Ice Mountain where the Tear Demon was confined and made a pinpointing gesture.

A streak of Blue Light shot from his hand and entered the Ice Mountain.

The blue ice crystals around the Tear Demon’s head melted a bit, restoring her ability to speak.

"Mirror Fiend! I treated you like a sister and have been protecting you all these years, yet you conspired with a human cultivator to betray me!" the Tear Demon immediately roared in anger.

Her shrill voice echoed within the white space, almost piercing through one’s eardrums.

"I’m sorry, but I didn’t want to..." Tears cascaded from the Mirror Fiend’s eyes as she vigorously shook her head.

"Your Excellency needs not be so furious. It was I who had the Mirror Fiend bring me here. She has become my spirit beast and cannot defy my commands," Shen Luo interjected before the Mirror Fiend could continue, his tone calm.

The voice of the Tear Demon inside the Iceberg ceased abruptly, her eyes losing their anger, replaced by pity and sorrow.

However, after a few breaths, an even stronger fury emerged on her face.

This time, her anger was directed at Shen Luo.

"How dare you enslave my sister, human monk! Don’t let me catch an opportunity, or I will make your divine soul soak in my tears of resentment, making you suffer daily from the invasion of grievances!" the Tear Demon howled furiously.

Shen Luo inwardly rolled his eyes. Was this Tear Demon a fool? She had already been captured, and yet she still dared to utter such threats.

"There’s no need for such excitement, Your Excellency. I have made the Mirror Fiend my spirit beast not out of a desire to enslave her but to borrow her abilities when necessary. Moreover, after a period of time, I will grant her freedom," he spoke calmly.

The Tear Demon was startled to hear this, and the Mirror Fiend beside her felt the same.

"Master, are you telling the truth?" the Mirror Fiend quickly recovered, and with a mix of shock and joy, it sought confirmation.

"Since I have spoken, of course, I will make it happen. The more you aid me in the future, the sooner you will regain your freedom," Shen Luo said with a smile.

"I understand, Master. Rest assured, I will put in the effort and will not slack off in battle," the Mirror Fiend said, brimming with happiness.

Shen Luo nodded satisfactorily and turned his attention to the Tear Demon, saying, "As for why I have sought Your Excellency, I likewise have no intention of harming you. I simply need a favor."

The Tear Demon looked at Shen Luo, and while the hatred in her eyes had diminished somewhat, it was still filled with hostility.

"What do you want me to do for you?" After a while, she asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"I wish to obtain some Tear Demon Pearls from you that do not contain despair," Shen Luo stated his most essential purpose for this visit.

On his way here, he had already learned from the Mirror Fiend the method to create the Tear Demon Pearls—using one’s innate vitality, combined with demon power, to condense the pearls.

For a Tear Demon at the Nascent Soul Stage, producing these pearls was quite difficult, as it would consume innate vitality. However, the Tear Demon before him had advanced to the Great Mahayana Stage, with robust vital force, so making some Tear Demon Pearls was no issue for her.

Upon hearing his request, the Tear Demon inwardly sighed with relief but showed no sign of it on her face.

"You want my tear beads? Hmph! It’s not impossible, but what will you offer me in exchange?" She sneered, deciding to extort the human cultivator in front of her.

"Your life," Shen Luo stated indifferently.

The Tear Demon’s expression froze, then she glared at Shen Luo with resentful eyes for a long time without speaking.

"Your Excellency may be a bit stronger than me, but this Iceberg has been forged with a God’s Power of Ice far beyond yours. With your current state, it’s impossible for you to break through. So let’s not waste time and my patience," Shen Luo said lightly, with a hint of Green Light flickering in his eyes suddenly.

The Tear Demon was shocked. She had been talking so much to Shen Luo, indeed to buy time while secretly accumulating demon power to break through the Iceberg. This human cultivator, clearly less powerful than her, had seen through her ploy at a glance.

"Fine, I will produce a batch of Tear Demon Pearls for you, but you must release the Mirror Fiend and swear not to disturb us here again!" the Tear Demon, after a moment of silence, said.

"You’re not in a position to negotiate with me right now. I have already made significant concessions. If you continue to push your luck, I won’t hesitate to take another approach and extract your innate vitality to condense the Tear Demon Pearls," Shen Luo’s tone turned cold as he spoke.

After saying this, he did not speak again but placed his hand on the Iceberg surrounding the Tear Demon. A projection of the Heavenly Book appeared above his palm and unfolded with a whoosh.

The Tear Demon and the Iceberg around her shook a few times and then vanished in a flash, collected into the Heavenly Book Space.

Only by taking her into the Heavenly Book Space could Shen Luo feel at ease.

"Where’s the Tear Demon?" the Mirror Fiend, upon seeing this, expressed a look of surprise.

"She’s in one of my Spatial Treasures. You should go in as well," Shen Luo explained briefly, and after a moment of thought, he also brought the Mirror Fiend into the Heavenly Book Space.

With these matters addressed, he went over to the headless corpse of Master Baoxiang that had fallen.

The Divine soul of Master Baoxiang had been utterly destroyed by the overwhelming might of the Demon-slaying Broken Sword at the moment of decapitation.

Shen Luo waved his sleeve, emitting a Blue Light, which gathered Master Baoxiang’s Storage Magical Tool, along with the Gold Chan Stick and the Red Kasaya lying nearby.

The Red Kasaya was just an ordinary Defensive Magical Treasure. Already possessing the Bloodthirsty Flag, he was not particularly interested in this treasure. However, the Gold Chan Stick immediately caught his eye.

This stick was also a Magical Treasure, and its quality was not low. Still, Shen Luo was not concerned about this. What drew his attention was the material of the Chan Stick, which contained a large amount of Spirit Solar Iron.

This Divine Iron was a material for refining the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod. If he could extract it and merge it into the Profound Yellow Staff, its power would surely increase once again.
