The Lord of Void and Real

100  Chapter 99: Summoning the Beast

He chanted spells in his mind, black runes following his divine sense, penetrated invisibly towards the demon on the other side.

The demon immediately let out a roar full of pain.

However, the next moment, a shockwave was counterattacked towards Shen Luo's sea of ​​knowledge.

Shen Luo was prepared, and the divine sense power in his sea of ​​knowledge suddenly retracted, forming an invisible barrier.

With a "bang", his sea of ​​knowledge trembled violently, but there was no pain.

Shen Luo sneered, accelerating the operation of the technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits, and more black runes flew out and penetrated to the other side.

The demon on the other side did not scream in pain again, clearly putting up a defense.

"Boy, with your cultivation level, you also want to forcefully tame me. Haha~" After a while, the demon sneered, full of disdain.

Shen Luo did not respond, but continued to operate the art of spirit communication, and a large number of black runes were constantly born and kept penetrating to the opposite side.

The demon on the other side stopped talking, and did not roar back. It simply focused on resisting the art of spirit communication.

The surroundings became quiet, and a confrontation began to vaguely form between the two.

In the blink of an eye, the time for a meal went by.

The black runes released by Shen Luo haven't reduced at all, but instead continue to increase, however, the resistance of the demon on the other side did not weaken, becoming rather tenacious.

He was not surprised at this.

According to his estimation, the opposite party is a Grain Avoidance Demon, and it definitely cannot be easily tamed. He had already prepared for a protracted battle.

Shen Luo held his breath and concentrated, running the art of spirit communication with all his might.

Operating this technique requires full concentration and does not allow for distracting mind and energy to absorb heavenly and earthly spiritual Qi for recovery, but can only withstand it supported by his own mana.

Luckily, his mana was profound enough to maintain the operation of the technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits for a long time.

At this time, Shen Luo was also determined to see who would exhaust their mana first, him or the demon on the other side.

However, after operating the art of spirit communication to its fullest for so long, his understanding of the technique gradually deepened, and he became more proficient. The deterrent effect that originally required the operation of full mana could now be achieved with only seventy percent of his mana.

14:54

Time slipped by, after an hour, the black runes released by Shen Luo remained densely packed, and the resistance of the demon on the other side remained stiff.

After two hours passed, everything remained the same…

After three hours, more than half of Shen Luo's internal mana had been consumed.

However, after operating the art of spirit communication to its fullest for so long, his understanding of the technique gradually deepened, and he became more proficient. The deterrent effect that originally required the operation of full mana could now be achieved with only seventy percent of his mana.

This discovery made Shen Luo secretly delighted and he even more attentively operated the art of spirit communication while studying quietly.

Upon passing yet another two hours, as his understanding of the art of spirit communication continued to increase, he only needed approximately half of his mana to maintain the previous method of spirit communication, while the demon on the other side's resistance had obviously begun to weaken.

"Impossible! You are obviously far inferior to me, how on earth do you still have reserve energy!" The demon on the opposite side roared incredulously.

"The sophistication of my Little Straw Mountain spirit communication secret technique is not something you can understand. Surrender immediately and obediently become my spirit beast, the previous conditions remain unchanged!" Shen Luo replied coldly. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"No way! Let's see how long you can hold on!" The demon roared back with all the strength it had left, amplifying its resistance.

Shen Luo was not surprised but happy. Being impatient was big taboo in such a consumption battle. Everything should be done according to the most suitable steps for him, neither rushing forward nor fearing retreat, in order to last longer.

As expected, it didn't take long for the demon's resistance to quickly decrease to its previous level and start to emit low groans.

As time passed, the demon's resistance weakened continuously, its groans gradually turned into screams, its resistance of will became almost nonexistent, but it still stubbornly resisted.

By the ninth hour, the howling on the other side was almost non-existent, and if not for still able to sense the demon's breath, Shen Luo would almost think it had fallen.

But Shen Luo was also in a bad situation, with less than ten percent of his mana left in his body, he had obviously reached his limit. However, the black runes he released remained as dense as before, but the demon on the other side still showed no sign of surrender.

"Since you're so stubborn, I'll have to erase your spiritual wisdom!" Shen Luo concealed his anxiety and threatened, prompting the remaining mana in his body, the black runes he released suddenly flourished and swarmed towards the other side, full of an intimidating aura.

"No... don't, I... I surrender, I'm willing to be your spirit beast..." At this moment, a weak voice came through. All resistance completely disappeared.

Upon hearing these words, Shen Luo quickly operated the technique of taming beasts and summoning spirits with his remaining mana, and mixed the power of his divine sense into it. Soon a spirit mark formed, transmitted over, and successfully integrated into the body of the demon.

An instant mental connection formed between him and the demon on the other side.

With that, Shen Luo's tense heartstrings relaxed. He immediately stopped the art of spirit communication. His vision blurred as his divine sense was withdrawn and returned to the underground space.

He had no mana left in his body at the moment, his Dantian was completely empty, his head was muddled, and there was a severe loss of spiritual power.

Such a heavy expenditure was never experienced by Shen Luo before. His body had a sensation of being completely hollowed out.

Just as he was about to sit cross-legged, he finally could no longer stay upright and fell straight back to the ground, slipping into unconsciousness.

After some time, Shen Luo slowly came to.

His Dantian was still completely empty, and his stomach collapsed, as if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.

Shen Luo steadied his mind, took out a Pigu Dan and took it, then immediately sat cross-legged.

Without any movement from him, the thin layer of water at the bottom of the pond immediately flowed gently towards him, causing no reaction from the golden skeleton above. It quickly gathered all around him.

Shen Luo closed his eyes and operated the Nameless Cultivation Technique, beginning to absorb the pond water and the heavenly and earthly spiritual Qi in the surrounding space.

After the pond water diminished, the heavenly and earthly spiritual Qi in the underground space also began to decrease, but it is still quite dense at this moment.

After fifteen minutes, when he opened his eyes again, his pupils sparkled, and his mana was completely restored.

Shen Luo couldn't wait to get up, go to the outside of the pond, scoop up a green bunch of pond water, point it with another hand, and chanted a spell.

The water immediately started rotating from his palm, forming a palm-sized water vortex.

The vortex flew out of his hand while spinning, progressively growing larger and was the size of a millstone in the blink of an eye, with a faint, dull growl coming from the center.

"Open!"

Shen Luo snapped his fingers and a pitch-black water hole appeared suddenly in the center of the vortex, a strand of bluish demon Qi shot out from it, obscuring a shadow inside that had its figure stretched out.

With a "bang", the shadow fell heavily on the ground, the demon Qi retracting and revealing an orange-red beast that was half human half shrimp and four feet long.
