The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 350 - 346 Escape
Chapter 350: Chapter 346: Escape
Chapter 350: Chapter 346: Escape
Since ancient times, it has been said that “soldiers block the way and earth covers the water”, with no inherent strengths or weaknesses between earth and water, only counterbalances.
Shen Luo’s hands danced, pushing forward, and rolling waves continuously gushed out from the cave, stubbornly blocking the collapsing rocks, even showing signs of counter-flow.
Seeing the slowing of the mountain wall’s collapse, he controlled the waves while retreating.
Although there were still cries of panic in the canyon, having experienced many hardships, the remaining people were frightened but not completely disordered. Under the command of Shen Yu and Bai Bi, they were quite organized.
Junzhi flew over the canyon. His main target in this pursuit had been Bai Xiaoyun. Seeing no sign of him below, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The reason he did not dive directly into the valley to slaughter was due to a bit of fear, worrying that the humans at the Great Mahayana Stage were purposely hiding, laying a trap for him.
“Humph, I don’t believe you won’t show up.”
Golden light flashed in Junzhi’s eyes, and he suddenly opened his mouth, another golden light shot out, aiming directly at the middle of the valley.
In the valley, the crowd had just retreated a hundred feet, when the rock wall above was once again blasted by golden light, causing countless rocks and dust to disintegrate and to fall toward the crowd.
Seeing this, Shen Yu and others displayed their powers, smashing the falling stones.
However, the large area of collapsed mountainside was not something their scarce number could block. Although their own safety was not in question, they were completely powerless to protect the common people.
Just as nearly hundreds were about to be buried by dust and rocks, a surge of blue waves rushed forward, forming a blue water bridge above the people’s heads in an instant.
“Whoosh, whoosh…”
For a moment, countless dust and fragments crashed into the water bridge and were immediately cushioned and wrapped by the water, hanging suspended in mid-air.
Shen Luo appeared beneath the water bridge, arms raised high, back slightly bowed, holding up all the collapsed rocks and rubbles as if supporting the heavens.
People looked up at him, seeing him shrouded in blue light, his figure towering like a deity.
“Elder…” Shen Yu softly called out upon seeing this.
“Quickly lead everyone…” Before Shen Luo could finish speaking, a golden light suddenly burst from above.
This time, Junzhi’s golden light didn’t aim for the rocky wall; it fell directly into the valley.
“Boom!”
The golden light hit the hard-earned water bridge put up by Shen Luo, exploding violently.
The massive power that exploded from it turned the rocks within the water bridge into powder, and the incredibly strong shockwaves shattered the entire water bridge.

Shen Luo felt an incredibly powerful force descending, a huge energy suddenly pierced through his arms, causing his whole body to tremble violently. If it wasn’t for his last-minute activation of the Huangting Technique, his arms would likely have been shattered by now.
Even so, Shen Luo was far from relaxed. His bones creaked and popped, and blood streamed from his nose and mouth, forming two red lines like little snakes twisting on his face.
However, the gap between the Nascent Soul Stage and the Great Mahayana Stage was too vast, Shen Luo had only withstood it for a few breaths before he could no longer bear it, his arms dropped powerlessly.
The next moment, this force exploded within the canyon, triggering a fierce chain reaction.
Nearly the entire canyon’s mountain walls began to crack in loud rumbling noises. The dust that curled up obscured the entire canyon, and when the dust settled, the whole canyon was practically filled.
Junzhi collapsed his wings and descended, a flash of light enveloping his body as he transformed back into his human form.
“These humans certainly seem to know how to choose their own graves,” he stated derisively, standing on the edge of the gorge.
Before his words had fully left his lips, he extended his Divine Sense downwards, his expression changing dramatically as he exclaimed:
“What’s going on?”
The gorge, already filled with fragments of stone, had dust swirling above it. However, deep underground within a pitch-black cave, a mysterious blue light suddenly began to glow.
“Shen Yu, Bai Bi, go check out the situation. Has anyone been hurt?” Shen Luo ordered from where the blue light originated.
“Yes,” came two voices from within the darkness.
Following this, several more beams of light emerged from different corners, casting a vague silhouette on the environment.
Shen Luo moved his sore arm slightly, only to feel his shoulder joint swelling and inflamed, to the point where his ability to use his Mana was becoming impeded.
Upon examining his surroundings, he realized that they were unexpectedly situated on an underground beach. Not far from them, the sound of gurgling water could be heard. It seemed there was an underground river nearby.
“It’s good that this river channel didn’t change its course and flowed into the underground instead, forming an underground river. Otherwise, we would all really have been buried alive in that canyon,” he sighed in relief, a note of fear still clinging to his words.
“Elder, three people were unfortunately hit by falling rocks and have passed away. Additionally, over a dozen people were injured, but their conditions are not serious. Six people have gone missing. However, all of the monks are safe and uninjured,” Shen Yu reported, approaching Shen Luo.
“Alright, we um…”
Shen Luo’s sentence was interrupted as a “boom” echoed from above.
A torrent of stone fragments and dust started falling, hurtling towards the group of people.
The stunned citizens immediately scattered in all directions.
“Everyone, follow me! Head immediately for the river,” Shen Luo cried, his heart pounding.
His words barely left his lips when he lunged forward, leaping into the underground river ahead of everyone.
Seeing his actions, the fleeing civilians quickly followed suit and rushed into the underground river.
The temperature of the river water was chillingly cold. When the people hit the water, each of them shivered involuntarily and instinctively wanted to scramble back to shore.
At that moment, another thunderous sound was heard from above the beach. A golden Light Pillar descended from the sky, directly penetrating the cave’s vault and illuminating the riverbank.
In the middle of the golden light stood a golden silhouette—it was Junzhi.
Feeling a sinking feeling in his heart, Shen Luo moved a hand in front of him. He activated the unrevealed Nameless Cultivation Technique at full power and began to use his Water Control Technique.
The underground river, which had previously been flowing smoothly, suddenly seethed and roared. Dozens of wave heads sprung up simultaneously, transforming into countless bucket-thick Water Pythons. They carried the fleeing civilians downstream at a swift pace.
Shen Luo stood at the back of all the Water Pythons, surfing on a rising wave and safeguarding everyone as they fled.
“A bunch of ants, think you can escape?”
